Portal Tinto, from the heart of Spain's Terra Alta region, showcases the unique character of old-vine Garnacha and Carignan grapes. Crafted by the fourth generation of the Piñol family, this wine embodies their dedication to organic farming and sustainable practices. The grapes, grown in high-elevation vineyards with unique clay soils, are hand-harvested and meticulously crafted in small batches.
The wine's deep ruby color reveals a vibrant bouquet of blackberry, potpourri, and peppery spice, with hints of licorice and minerals. On the palate, concentrated black and blue fruit flavors mingle with floral notes, while silky tannins provide structure and a lingering finish.
Portal Tinto is a true expression of Terra Alta, a region known for its warm, dry climate and ancient winemaking traditions. Pair it with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses for a delicious taste of Spain.
