Silk & Spice Red Blend 2021 Portugal

91 Pts Wine Enthusiast

Silk & Spice is the Portuguese red for every day that really delivers. The grapes selected for Silk & Spice come from the regions Dão, Bairrada, and Lisboa, and are vinified separately. After total destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were fermented at a controlled temperature with short maceration to retain freshness. The wine then aged for 6 months in American oak barrels. Innumerable tastings and analyses were carried out to determine the final blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 30% Alicante Bouschet and 30% Baga, creating a wine with delightfully forward fruit and very soft tannins.
