Tinta Barroca is an old Portuguese grape varietal used in Port production that found its way to South Africa for Fortified wines. This wine comes from rehabilitated old vineyards to make a dry and spicy Red.
The Iberian Peninsula by way of South Africa, this is a blend of a whopping 7 grapes of Spanish and Portuguese origin, fermented separately and then blended to achieve a robust wine, intense in color and on the nose, with dark fruit flavors and a touch of pot-pourri. Acidic enough to have a soft, smooth edge, with tannins that show up just enough to provide some texture.
