| Notes | "A pure, fresh, medium-bodied style, overt and fruit-forward, with no sign of oak. Attractive and easy-going, with a satisfying varietal typicity." (Decanter) "The 2016 Trincadeira T is unoaked, aged in cement tanks... It finishes dry and has good acidity to go with the blackberries. There's a little tannic pop but not much. Instead, the fruity demeanor pops up quickly. This is very nice. (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Made from one of the most widely planted varieties in Portugal (known as Tinta Amarela in the Douro), this is a soft wine with attractively juicy fruit that is made to drink young. Its gentle tannins and red-fruit flavors are open, lifted by some tannins and ready to drink from 2018." (Wine Enthusiast) |
