Spice Road

Silk & Spice Spice Road

Tasting Notes

Spice Road is an intense red wine that highlights the most important spices traded during the Portuguese voyages of discovery, which are now found all around the world. This blended red, which is an opaque ruby colour, has intense aromas of well-ripened black fruit and notes of dark chocolate and spices.

Varieties

50% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Shiraz, 20% Touriga Nacional

Technical Notes

This wine was produced from a fantastic selection of grapes with optimal levels of phenolic maturation. After gentle destemming and crushing, the grapes passed to stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place. During fermentation, gentle maceration occurred at controlled temperatures to preserve the natural aromatic elements of the grapes. After fermentation, maceration continued in contact with the grapeskins for several days.

Food Pairing

This very gastronomic wine pairs fantastically with meat dishes, strong cheeses and barbecue.
