About This Wine

Tres Tigres Tristes

Vinho Tinto

Have you ever tried Portuguese wine? If not, consider this your friendly introduction. While Portugal is best known for producing the sweet dessert wine called port, still wines like our Tres Tigres Tristes Vinho Tinto capture the spirit of Portugal’s culture and terroir without the added sweetness. And with such great value, Portuguese wines deserve a place at your table. This full-bodied, plush wine is beautifully balanced with savory aromatics and dried red fruit flavors. Portugal’s warm, Mediterranean climate and varied topography and soil types make it an ideal home for grapevines. With over 60 years of experience, our Portuguese winemaking partners are experts in the intricacies of the local terroir. This is a wine you’ll be thrilled to discover and excited to share.

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 Redcurrant tasting note. Redcurrant
  • A figure representing the Cedar tasting note. Cedar
  • A figure representing the Mulberry tasting note. Mulberry

Exotic scents of cedar and cigar box introduce this wine’s round, weighty body, making for a dense mouthfeel without overwhelming the palate with firm tannins or sharp acidity. Rich flavors of dried redcurrants and mulberry add a touch of fruit to an otherwise spicy finish.
