Topo (Portugal)

This is the perfect midweek dinner red!

Hailing from sunny Portugal, this wine is a delicious blend of indigenous grapes Castelao, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, with a splash of Shiraz. From the Lisbon region, the palate is velvety and fruity, balanced by hints of spice, chocolate, and discreet toasty notes from oak ageing. 

Most of Casa Santos Lima's estates are located in Alenquer, 45km north of Lisbon, in a region where wine production is centuries old and the typical rural landscapes are gifted with enormous beauty. The vineyards are planted in gentle slopes with altitudes between 100 and 220 meters benefiting from an excellent sun exposition and a climate slightly tempered by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, 25 km away from the property.

This wine would be PERFECT for burger night. Think Angus beef and smoked cheese to complement that oak ageing!
