Vinha do Alqueve 2005

Tejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalAny red made from trincadeira, tinta roriz, touriga nacional, cabernet sauvignon and touriga franca is okay with me. It is dry, rustic and a bit tart on entry but there is some depth of flavour and weight and I'm sure it would be just fine with hamburgers, ribs or chicken. What is does not have is a lot of heavy oak mucking up the finish. An interesting excursion to the Euro side.Tasted: 23 May 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
