Portuguese winemakers are masters at blending different grapes, and this wine is seen as a homage to their skills. 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!

Aromas of ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit. Spicy and fresh on the palate with notes of cinnamon, chocolate and clean red fruit flavours with subtle oak that adds richness to the wine. Complex and with a long finish.  A classic portugese blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Camarate, Castelão & Trincadeira – just think soft, smooth rich red!

3 x Cabra Cega Tinto 2016 (Portugal)

Awarded Gold Medal: Portugal Wine Trophy 2018

Awarded Gold Medal: China Wines & Spirits Awards 2017

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.
