Description
In a nutshell:
A solid, dark and fruity Portuguese red from the Dão region in the north of the country,
The lowdown:
Dão, which sits just to the south of the Douro is known as the area for some of Portugal's elegant and minerally reds. This wonderfully good value number is a blend of three of the region's most popular grape varieties, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Jaen. After fermentation the wine is matured for a year in 2nd use French and Russian oak which gives it a good intensity and concentration, but with a nice lightness of touch and fresh acidity. Quite elegant, the ripe and youthful fruit has touches of raisin, prunes and Mediterranean herbs giving a very interesting range of flavours which persist right through to the long and juicy finish.
The Producer:
Bacalhôa is one of the country's largest and most forward-thinking producers, with vineyards stretching from the Douro in the north to the Alentejo in the south. Their range includes well-known, large production brands as well as some seriously impressive premium wines and everything in between. The best value is probably found in their mid-range offerings. These wines, while retaining a distinctive Portuguese character, are very approachable and offer great value for money.
When to drink:
Ripe, juicy and full of flavour this is great with thing like grilled beef, or lamb or with a hearty stew.
Suitable for Vegans
