Flavor Profile
“Portugal is now gushing with stunning wines – and yes, stunning deals. ... Portugal very likely now offers some of the greatest wine values on the market today.”
– Wine Spectator
One sip of this sumptuous red from the renowned José Luis Oliveira da Silva will have you convinced that the Wine Spectator quote above is spot on.
Aside from the major Port producers, José’s family quinta (estate) is the most awarded in the country. In fact, the Da Silva clan have been acclaimed producers and exporters of Portuguese wine since the early 19th century. And quality’s really taken off in the past few years.
Always a head turner on the international awards circuit, the 2017 release of Quinta do Espírito Santo – an exclusive they make just for us – boasts a “Best-in-Show” gold medal from Mundus Vini 2019. It’s a wine fans of big, rich reds just have to try, and it’s priced for very generous pouring.
José begins with a blend of Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo in Spain) and local Portuguese star Castelão. Six months in Portuguese and American oak marries inviting spice characters with blackberry, plum, and black cherry jam notes. Ideal for seared red meats or hearty stews – and, it’s plenty smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
This mouthfilling red is a proven crowd-pleaser with customers, so you’ll have to act quickly to secure your share.
