Arco de Esporão 2008 Alentejo, Portugal

Award Winner Bin Number: 601071
10 bottles in stock

A deliciously meaty blend of premium Portuguese grapes.

A new multi-varietal blend made specially for Waitrose by top Portuguese winemaker David Baverstock. This is a cunning mixture of indigenous grape varieties: Aragónez, Trincadeira, Castelão, Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. The judicious use of well-integrated oak adds a spicy, herbal quality to this gorgeous red, with its rounded palate and soft tannins. Ideal for drinking now with pasta or meat dishes, alternatively cellar for 3 to 5 years for more mature style.
