In the glass
Aroma: wild berries, pine needles
Palate: supple, soft tannin, clean close
The Jaen-led second label of Quinta dos Roques: wild berries and pine needles, supple in the mouth, with only a tenth of the blend barrel aged.
What it pairs with
-
Grilled pork ribs
Soft tannin and berry fruit are what a smoky rib rack wants. -
Pasta with tomato and sausage
The wine's acidity keeps up with the tomato without adding grip. -
Roast chicken
A supple, lightly oaked red is a safer weeknight match for poultry than a Reserva.
