Masterworks Series NV Vinho Tinto, Portugal

Description

Our Portuguese Vinho Tinto is an exceptional addition to Masterworks Series’ collection. This blend features 35 percent Touriga Nacional, 35 percent Tinta Roriz and 30 percent Castelão for a complex exhibit of flavor and texture. Behind the work of iconic Portuguese painter Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, whose painting you see on the label, this wine unveils enticing spice and concentrated dark fruit notes. Touriga Nacional is a treasured Portuguese variety found in many of the country’s famous wine styles, including the fortified dessert wine, port. Touriga Nacional and Castelão both contribute firm tannins and rich fruit flavors when blended. Tinta Roriz, the Portuguese name for Tempranillo, brings more fruit and soft, supple character to the overall composition. This wine is proof of how a winemaker—like a painter—can utilize the various offerings of their palate to create a masterpiece filled with beauty and wonder.
