Region

The Vinho Regional Lisboa (previously known as Estremadura) extends north and west of Lisbon, following the rugged Atlantic coastline. It is Portugal`s third largest wine producing region in volume terms, but arguably the source of the country`s best value table wines. Most of the region enjoys a maritime climate that allows production of fresh whites and balanced red wines. The last ten years have seen a surge of ambitious small growers making far more interesting wines across a wide selection of grape varietals.
Tasting Notes
Ruby colour perfumed soft fruit aromas with intriguing notes of chocolate and green tea. On the pallet it has excellent ripeness but also a lively freshness, fruity with rich strawberry and cedar flavours. Gentle extraction in the winemaking process has created soft velvety tannins and bright fruit flavours. It has spent 3 months in small French oak barrels for that added complexity. A delicious wine that is well-structured with a long, smooth finish.
Food
Serve with roast game, stews, cheese and Portugese salt cod.
