S. Sebastião Syrah/Tinta Roriz 2022

Blending Syrah with the Portuguese Tinta Roriz makes for a wine with lush dark fruit character and a spicy aftertaste. It’s cold-soaked in steel vats to retain freshness. Look for notes of blueberry, cassis, peperoncino and truffles and serve tonight with a pasta bolognese or black-bean chili.[Asia Wine Trophy did not include a tasting note.] Score – Gold.
