Vinho Tinto

2012 Lisboa Touriga Franca, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah

The Portuga Vinho Tinto from the Lisboa region is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases a blend of Touriga Franca, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. This vintage, harvested from the rich, sun-soaked vineyards of Lisboa, offers a full-bodied experience, enveloping the palate with its robust character. The acidity is high, lending a bright and lively quality that invigorates each sip. With pronounced fruit intensity, this wine bursts with flavors of dark berries and plums, harmoniously complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. The tannins are structured, providing a firm backbone, while the overall profile leans toward a dry finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews. Enjoying a glass of this wine feels like a celebration of the diverse terroir found in Portugal, rich with tradition and depth.

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.
