35% Touriga Nacional, 35% Tinta Roriz, 28% Touriga Franca and 2% Tinta Francisca
You can’t help but think about Port when drinking a Portuguese red. The taste of the Prazo de Roriz shares a lot of the same cassis, dark plum and blackberry flavors, with an ever-so lightly oxidized component. Ultra-smooth, but with enough acidity to provide backbone. Dark bitter chocolate and a hint of wet soil. Give it an hour in a decanter, or aerate the arse out of it!
Stands surprisingly firm on its own two feet, but would work wonders with red sauce pasta, venison, duck with a cherry reduction, veal, lamb shank, steak or possibly even a big slab of dark chocolate cake.
