Trinca Bolotas Alentejo Red Blend
Alentejo, Alentejano, Portugal
Tried this about 6 months ago. A blend of Alicante Bouschet (44%), Touriga Nacional (40%) & Aragonez (16%), deep Ruby with red fruit and floral aromas. On the palate flavors of cherry and red plum with a bit of spicy notes. Fine tannins, vivid acidity on medium finish ending with fruit and spice, simple good value Portuguese red. Tasting Sample.

Blueberries and complex tannins. Perfect with a red meat dinner followed by some dark chocolate.
