In the glass
Aroma: fruity, attractive
Palate: strong flavour, muscular tannin, alcohol and acid in balance
Deep ruby varietal Tinta Roriz with a fruity, attractive nose and a strong palate whose muscular tannins are the point of the wine.
What it pairs with
-
Grilled beef with coarse salt
Muscular tannin needs a plain, fatty cut to soften against. -
Lamb shank
A long braise gives the tannin the collagen it wants. -
Very hard cured cheese
The cooperative says the tannins may bruise sensitive palates while young, and a strong cheese takes the edge off.
