Tagus Creek Alentejano

09-05-2014

Tagus Creek Alentejano Syrah-Trincadeira 2004 - 9 June 2006

Tagus Creek is growing in popularity and is Portugal's first new major brand with widespread distribution. The Tagus is Portugal's best known and largest river and the capital of Lisbon is situated on its banks near the Atlantic. Further inland it shares its setting with the Alentejano wine region with its numerous river creeks from which men still fish for a living.

Like Red Leg from the same producer, this wine awoke on the second day and transformed from a sleepy red to a gentle giant with an enticing bouquet with hints of vanilla and violets, before leading to a smooth, rich ripe mouthful of plums and damsons.

Food guide: Barbecued meats, spicy sausages, meat balls, kebabs, lamb, kid, beef and many fully flavoured cheeses.

Review by Andrew Jones, Editor, Wine on the web

So young, fresh, and vibrant. Really needs three years in bottle to show anything like its true potential. Obviously some whole-bunch fermentation going on here. Delicious. Can't believe the quality for the price!

Tagus Creek is the new face of Portuguese wine

Tagus Creek wines are a blend of tradition and modernity. They combine the best of traditional Portuguese grape varieties with the the best varieties known worldwide for making wines with unique character. The range consists of six wines: four reds, including a reserve and a "Great Wine", one white and one rosé. The reds are blends of international grapes Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, with three main Portuguese varieties: Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Aragones. The white is a blend of Chardonnay with Fernão Pires, and the Rosé joins the Shiraz with Touriga Nacional.
