Syrah

2012 Bairrada Syrah

Niepoort Syrah from the 2012 vintage hails from the renowned Bairrada region and showcases the captivating depth and complexity typical of this varietal. This red wine is medium-bodied, offering a balanced structure that captivates the palate. It exhibits pronounced acidity, which provides a refreshing lift, enhancing its overall appeal. The fruit intensity is prominent, with lush notes of dark berries intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthiness, creating a harmonious blend that delights the senses. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, adding an elegant structure without overwhelming the wine. This Syrah leans towards the dry side, making it an excellent choice for food pairings, particularly with grilled meats or rich, savory dishes.

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.
