About This Wine


Tres Tigres Tristes

Vinho Branco

Even if you can’t say “Tres Tigres Tristes” three times fast, this Platinum Medal-winning, 94 point wine deserves a place at your table. With playful, floral aromas accompanied by citrus and stone fruit flavors, Tres Tigres Tristes continues to offer a friendly connection to Portuguese culture. Portugal produces many high-value white and red wines and has been doing so for centuries. If this is your first taste of Portuguese wine culture, it’s a delicious place to start. You may love it so much that you find yourself frying up fresh codfish to make your very own bacalhau or marinating pork to create the cultural delight, bifanas. Short of hopping on a plane, our Tres Tigres Tristes Vinho Branco is the best way to bring the spirit of this dynamic culture to your table. Saúde!

Wine Region


Portugal

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.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Pear tasting note. Pear
  • A figure representing the Lemon tasting note. Lemon

Jasmine, lemon peel, and herbal aromas create a complex profile for this wine’s light body offers. Refreshing acidity undercuts a pleasant wax-like element commonly found in white Portuguese wines. Baked apple and ripe pear flavors rule the palate and linger on a creamy finish.
