Portuga 2021

Portuga is made by Casa Santos Lima, a grand Portuguese estate in the Lisboa region, just north of the capitol. João Santos Lima founded it in the 19th century and it has been in the same family for three generations. Diogo Sepúlveda is the winemaker today. He has worked vintages all across the world, including Bordeaux's prestigious Pomerol and California's Napa Valley. He is a talented winemaker, who relaxes in his spare time by playing football and wrestling! Portuga is a rich, velvety blend of traditional native varieties Castelão and Touriga Franca, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, aged gently in oak. Delicious served on its own, with rich pork dishes or tangy tomato pasta. It's an ideal wine for around the barbecue too.
