Portada Tinto Winemaker's Selection

An approachable everyday red wine from the heart of Portugal – offering genuine drinking pleasure and no detours.

DFJ Vinhos is among Portugal's most productive and diverse wine producers. The winery works with grapes from several regions of the country, including the Tagus region, and focuses on clean, modern winemaking techniques. The Winemaker's Selection is the flagship line for an international audience – deliberately designed for fruit and balance. It's no coincidence that the Portada Tinto has received multiple Best Buy awards and made it into the Top 100 list in 2014.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red. The nose offers aromas of dark cherry, a touch of blackberry, and a subtle hint of herbs – slightly Mediterranean, without being overpowering. On the palate, it is soft and full-bodied, with moderate tannins and good freshness. The one-month aging in French oak barrels imparts a subtle oak note to the fruit without overpowering the wine. Medium-long, clean finish.
