Details
Touriga, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet come together in this sumptuous red blend, very much indicative of the region. Lots of black cherry character at play here. Lovely, drawn-out, soft tannins manifest, with plenty of energy and power.

Nestled in the sun-drenched rolling vineyards of Portugal, Casa Santos Lima has been a beacon of winemaking tradition for decades. This family-owned winery, dating back several generations, has perfected the craft of producing tantalising wines that embody the land's rich terroir. With an uncanny knack for seamlessly blending traditional and innovative techniques, they've succeeded in translating the lush Portuguese landscapes into every bottle. The state-of-the-art winery can be found in the official Lisboa wine region, about 45 minutes north of the capital and boasts a diverse portfolio of wines, each with a unique personality that reflects the family's passion and dedication to the art of winemaking. A tour of Casa Santos Lima is like stepping back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of Portuguese viticulture, while simultaneously offering a taste of its promising future.

Pairing guide
The Touriga Nacional variety has very much been enjoying the spotlight for the past few years, and with characterful and deeply flavourful bottles like this blend from Casa Santos Lima delighting our palates, it’s not hard to see why. You’ll want to match this one up with classic Iberian flavours of spiced pork stews, smoked paprika and braised chorizo, or roast chicken with a smoky peri-peri rub. Moroccan dishes like lamb tagine, stuffed mushrooms, roast aubergine and chargrilled courgettes will also taste fantastic here, especially if served with saffron rice or some heritage grains.
