In the glass
Aroma: cassis, dark plum, violet, cedar incense
Palate: concentrated black fruit, graphite, cedar spice, polished tannins
Portia's prestige Triennia label from a single selected parcel: concentrated cassis, violet, graphite and cedar from 22 months in new French oak, representing the Gumiel de Izán terroir at its most concentrated and cellar-worthy.
What it pairs with
-
Prime dry-aged beef steak
Dense tannins and concentrated black fruit need the fat and complexity of dry-aged prime beef. -
Braised wild boar with olives and herbs
Graphite and violet notes match gamey wild boar with aromatic herbs. -
Aged Manchego DOP with fig jam
Polished tannins and concentrated fruit are balanced by the sweet-savoury cheese combination.
History
Portia Triennia is the prestige single-parcel label from Bodegas Portia, named for the three key elements of the wine: terroir, time and tradition. It is produced from the estate's best old-vine Tinto Fino plots and aged 22 months in new French oak in the Foster + Partners gravity-flow cellar.
