1st Grao Vasco Dao Branco 2016 1200 yen  New Arrivals

It is the first Portugal wine we have imported directly from Portugal.

It is made from Encruzado, Bical and Malvasia Fina.

I didn’t know such grape varieties.

They are the local grapes in Portugal.

Anyway, it is a very tasty white wine.

I like these fresh fruits, fine citrus and comfortable minerals.

Dao often use a sorbic acid, which is a chemical preservative I hate.

Don’t worry. Of course, this Dao never use it.

Very, very good!

 

 

2nd Grao Vasco Dao Tinto 2016 1200 yen  New Arrivals

The red is made from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Alfrocheiro, which are also Portugal local grape varieties.

I know Touriga Nacional, which is a grape variety of Port wine.

Tinta Roris is the Portugal local name of Tempranillo.

I didn’t know Alfrocheiro.

Anyway, the red is also very nice.

I felt very rich fruits, nice body, round tannins and comfortable after taste.

I like the style of red wine very much.

Fantastic!
