Gold Medal Portuguese Collection (Portugal) (01)

Description

We've improved our ever popular Gold Medal Portuguese Collection by adding a delicious new wine with even more golds than our last mix!

Portugal has been hailed by wine buffs at Wine Spectator magazine as “the most exciting wine place on the planet,” and rightly so. There is incredible value to be had; rich, robust reds and a heritage of winemaking excellence that goes back centuries.

With 13 Gold Medals, this is a no-brainer for great winter drinking. Fans of smooth, mouth-filling reds, take note!

Rich, bold smooth red, perfect for the coming winter months.

Bringing together a range of Portuguese and international varieties, the wine is smooth, structured and richly tannic. It has great acidity to balance the black fruits. Delicious drinking!

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Best Value: China Wines & Spirits Awards 2021

Highly aromatic notes of ripe black and red fruits. In the mouth, it has a smooth fruity start with concentrated red fruit flavours perfectly balanced with oak notes and a nice acidity. The fresh, yet fine tannins take over at finish, where flavours of spice and liquorice dominate. A blend of Touriga Franca, Castelão, Syrah & Tinta Roriz – again, just think richly fruited, smooth as silk red.
