‘perfect for a winter’s night in’

From Portugal – QUINTA DE MACEDOS Pinga do Torto 2004
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

On Tuesday, Jane spotted this wine in our Portuguese section and asked if we
could try it at home, commenting on it’s rather unusual label. The bottle has one of
those labels that, to put it frankly, puts you off from buying it….I’m not ‘labelist’
but many customers wouldn’t give this a second glance. So, we took it home and
opened it and boy were we both surprised and I remembered just why I had chosen to sell it.

This is a beautiful wine, very elegant and perfumed. We both commented that it was very feminine with lovely red fruit, very smooth tannins and it reminded her of a elegant pinot noir that would sell well over the £20 mark. The palate is concentrated and has a dry, slightly spicy finish. Very yummy and attractive. Ideal for drinking with beef or game dishes and will also cope well with full flavoured cheeses. We highly recommend it!
