Producer: Quinta da Alorna

Description:
Sitting majestically in the Tejo region, Quinta da Alorna has a wide array of vineyards which are worked in a sustainable and socially responsible way, looking after both the land and the workers. Portugal's trump card is its wide array of toothsome indigenous varieties and they are put to good work here. Aromatic Fernao Pires, tight, minerally Arinto and the Portuguese iteration of Tempranillo, Tinto Roriz, are amongst the bevy of blindingly tasty components that they have to work with and the result is an accomplished range of distinctly Portuguese wines.

Tasting Note:
Ruby colour. Ripe red fruits aromas such as plums and floral hints from Touriga. Well structured but very smooth and round. Long and pleasant end of mouth.

Food Matches: Roast lamb, grilled or barbecued pork, pasta, cheese and pizza
