Country: Portugal / Vinha da Defesa
Variety: Portuguese Red Alentejano
Winery: Herdade do Esporão /
Putting Syrah and Touriga Nacional together is a popular blend in Alentejo, producing structured wines that also exude ripe berry fruitiness and a fine aromatic character. This wine is still young as its firm tannins are evident even as its fruit is well in place, fresh and fruity and with a rich aftertaste. Drink from late 2016.
