Details
Juicy dark plum, blackberries and red cherries lead the way here, with a swirl of liquorice spice and a hint of chocolate sneaking in at the finish. It’s dry, fresh, and bright with high acidity and smooth, ripe tannins that bring grip without the green. Silky, punchy, and super drinkable - this red knows exactly what it’s doing!

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 Taverna Da Aldeia wines are traditional and savoury. The state-of-the-art winery can be found in the official Lisa 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
We’ve got a soft spot for a banging Touriga blend here at Good Pair Days, and this Portuguese stunner is bang on the money. It’s rich, bold, and a total match with big flavours - think grilled veg pasta, smoky aubergine dips, saucy puttanesca, or your favourite messy, rustic pizza. It also vibes perfectly with tomatoey pork or lamb stews, melty aubergine parm, and anything with Moroccan or Turkish spice going on. Basically, it’s the dinner guest that gets along with everyone.
