This youthful Portuguese red is from Lisboa winery Casa Santos Lima’s Azulejo range. Native grapes Tinta Roriz and Castaleo combine with a touch of Pinot Noir. 4 months in oak barrels before release brings a deep ruby wine showing aromas of ripe red fruits with vanilla overtones. Well balanced on the palate with a long, pleasant finish. Try with lamb, beef or pork, stews and roast veg, or soft cheeses.
Casa Santos Lima is a family-owned Lisboa winery founded in the late 19th century. Today, it has nearly 300 hectares of vineyards across the region and specialises in producing great quality and great value everyday drinking wines, exporting to over 40 countries across the world.
