Deep ruby with violet reflections, the wine offers ripe red fruit, mild spice and a light touch of wood.

Half matures for six months in used barrels, followed by nine months in bottle.
Vinhos Borges 2018 Meia Encosta Dão
Portuguese Red
$21.99
Red and ripe fruit lead a generous but precise palate, supported by fine tannins rather than overt weight. Fresh acidity gives the wine lift and keeps the fruit defined through the middle, while a quiet savoury edge adds complexity. The finish is persistent, returning to red fruit with a clean, balanced shape. Pair with roast chicken, grilled pork, chorizo pasta or a simple beef stew.

Handle the bottle gently, stand it upright before opening, and serve with roast lamb, braised beef, mushrooms or firm cheese.
