Uvelhas Negras Red 2020

Uvelhas Negras 2020 is a Portuguese red wine from the 2020 vintage, a bottle we picked for its character. The name reads like a play on the Portuguese words for old grapes and black sheep, and the wine has that slightly rebellious spirit. It is the kind of bottle we love to pour when someone asks for something different.

Tasting notes

With a few years in bottle, a 2020 Portuguese red like this is moving from fresh fruit towards softer, more savoury notes. Expect dark and red fruit, gentle spice and tannins that have started to relax. Give it a little air in the glass and it opens up.

Food pairing

Serve it with grilled meat, alheira sausage, a mushroom risotto, or a board of Portuguese cheeses and chouriço.
