Vinhas do Ocidente Tinto takes its place as a natural part of the success story of Portuguese wines. The wine is rich on the palate, which can be guessed through the grapes (50%) Alicante Bouschet, (30 %) Touriga Franca (20 %) Castelão. It’s easily approachable, the aroma is rich and the taste is so fruity, that it feels a little sweet, but the pleasant acidity keeps it lively and well-balanced. Tannins are rich, but like silk and velvet. Vinhas do Ocidente is a super wine for the dining table tailored for Finns, with a beautiful cork label.
