Tasting Note

Impenetrable opacity, presents a slightly prickly sensation in the mouth and then bursts out smilingly with thick gobs of bramble jam and exotic black cherries and black raspberries. The tannins are chewy, agreeably abrasive, and, twinned with the angular acidity, create a pucker-sour-sizzle combination which confronts the palate with plenty of difficult textural adjustments. You can almost smell the colour of this distilled purple juice; it's as if the skins had been freshly ripped off the flesh and just finished fermenting in the glass.

Product Notes

Aphros Vinhao wine hails from Minho, Northern Portugal, renowned for its vibrant, quality wines. Produced from indigenous Vinhão grapes, this bottle offers a unique sensory experience. Its deep, intense ruby colour hints at a robust, complex character. The nose is filled with dark berries, spice and earthy undertones, while the taste reveals textured tannins and a balanced acidity, unfolding ripe fruits and a lingering mineral finish. The Aphros Vinhao wine, organic and vegan-friendly, can be matched with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile addition to any meal. An exquisite discovery for wine aficionados.
