Quinta da Lagoalva de Cima 2014 Lagoalva Red (Tejo)

Country: Portugal / Lagoalva
Variety: Portuguese Red Tejo
Winery: Quinta da Lagoalva de Cima /

This is a half-and-half blend of Touriga Nacional from northern Portugal and Castelão from the south. It’s a wine that has plenty of fruit although the two grapes lie uneasily together. The juicy flavors and red berries are contrasted with a metallic acidity that isn’t pleasant. Hopefully, the wine will fill out.
