Vallado Vallado reserva tinto 2021

From Vallado Vallado in Portugal, this dry red wine blends Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional from the 2021 vintage. Touriga Franca is a key Portuguese red grape, valued for its perfumed florality and ripe red fruit, balancing the power of Touriga Nacional in blends and Port. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. Easygoing at the table: try it with roast meats, pasta, pizza night or a charcuterie board. Serve it at cool room temperature.
