Silk & Spice Red 2020

€ 9.90

A ruby colored red wine blend, characterized by intense aromas of ripe red and black fruit, such as blackberries and ripe plum. A spicy character evokes vanilla, black pepper and pink peppercorn, combined with hints of mocha. It is full-bodied with a balanced taste, very soft tannins and a long and balanced finish.

Silk & Spice gives new meaning to the 16th century trade route between Europe and Asia. Created by Portuguese explorers in 1498, the "Spice Route" allowed the world to enjoy flavors such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. Some of these spices and aromas come alive in this red wine, whose exceptional and deep flavors come from Portugal's native grapes and unique terrain.

Food pairing

wonderful when paired with grilled meat, pasta Bolognese and cheeseburgers.

Grapes: 40% Touriga National, 20% Baga, 20% Alicante Bouschet, 20% Syrah

Grapes were harvested by variety. Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and carried to fermentation vats, where the vinification process occurs. Alcoholic fermentation took place for around 8 days, at an average temperature of 26ºC. After the alcoholic fermentation, the must was racked to separate the wine from the rough sediments. It then rested in stainless steel vats up until the bottling day.
