Portugal has a wealth of indigenous grape varieties which distinguish its wine from other Mediterranean wine-producing countries and make it an interesting area to explore. This Porta 6 Reserva (2018) is a Regional Wine (Vinho Regional) from the Lisbon area and is a real treat for the taste buds.
Made from a blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Castelão grapes, this is a rich, bold wine, with smooth tannins, medium acidity and a long finish.
It has aromas of bramble, blackberry, plum and warm spice on the nose, and flavours of black fruits, chocolate and spice on the palate. A very appealing wine which pairs very well with grilled or roast meat dishes.
Available from Majestic (£11.99, Mix Six £9.99)
