Pinalta Douro Red
Wine of the month offer price: £8.49 (normally £9.99)
This spicy, concentrated, and very smooth premium red wine is a blend of three traditional Port varietal grapes (cultivars): 60% Touriga Franca, 20% tinta roriz, and 20% Tinta Barroca, But instead of introducing brandy during the fermentation process to increase the alcohol, and therefore maintaining a high residual sugar level (both intrinsic steps to Port production), this unfiltered wine is fermented dry with a natural alcohol level of 13.5%. The result is an elegant dinner wine, especially for entrees of beef, pork, or more seasoned traditional meals. Enjoy!
