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.

Producer

DFJ Vinhos is one of Portugal`s most innovative and highly awarded wine producers, winning best Portuguese producer in both the New York International Competition and Berliner Wine competition in 2018. They control estates in the Lisboa, Douro, Setubal, Alentejo and Tejo wine regions and work with 22 different grape varieties. The company is headed by Portugal’s top winemaker, José Neiva, who has now been leading the way for over 40 years and, at the recent `Portuguese Wine Oscars`, he was made `Senhor do Vinho` - the highest accolade for an outstanding career.
Tasting Notes
An easy drinking wine which has delicious soft fruit flavours of raspberries and redcurrants. The wine is made from selected Portuguese Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Caladoc, Castelao and Alicante Bouschet grapes with the addition of Shiraz to add a touch of spicy complexity. This is evident from the superb balance between smooth, ripe fruit and youthful freshness.
Food
Excellent with or without food and will accompany almost any fuller flavoured dishes like roasts, barbecue meats, cheese, pasta and most vegetarian dishes.
