Country: Portugal / Terra de Touros Pinot Noir-Touriga Nacional
Variety: Portuguese Red Tejo
Winery: Quinta do Casal Monteiro /
Sometimes it seems the Portuguese winemakers make random blends. This 50-50 blend of Pinot Noir and Touriga Nacional is a case in point. Yet, the first grape softens the second to make a wine that is easy, ripe and ready to drink. The finish, with its touches of toast, is well balanced by acidity. So the random works. Drink from 2018.
