Porta 6 2020 (Portugal)
Portugal has an abundance of local grape varieties which bring a note of difference to its wines. This Vinho Regional (Regional Wine) from the Lisbon area is a case in point. It is a blend of Tinta Roriz (50%), Castelão (40%) and Touriga Nacional (10%), and is a smooth, silky wine with balanced acidity and a lengthy finish.
With aromas of blackberry, cherry and vanilla on the nose, and flavours of cherry, plum and a pleasant spiciness on the palate, this is an attractive wine offering excellent value for money.
This is a wine to enjoy by itself, or as a perfect accompaniment for lamb or a pasta dish.
Available from Co-op, Sainsbury’s, Tesco (£7-£8)
