PAPE

2007 Dao Touriga Nacional 50%, Tinta Roriz 25%, Baga 25%

Pape PAPE is a striking red wine from the renowned Dão region, crafted through a harmonious blend of fifty percent Touriga Nacional, twenty-five percent Tinta Roriz, and twenty-five percent Baga. This captivating vintage from 2007 showcases a medium-bodied profile that is well-integrated and smooth, inviting the palate with its delightful fruit intensity that exudes ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by nuanced notes of dark chocolate and subtle spice. The acidity presents a refreshing brightness, balancing the lush fruit flavors beautifully. Tannins are notable yet refined, adding a structured framework that enhances its overall elegance without overwhelming the senses. This wine maintains a dry character, making it remarkably food-friendly and a wonderful companion to hearty dishes. Pape PAPE is a lovely embodiment of the Dão region's winemaking tradition, offering a well-rounded and satisfying experience with every sip.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
