2023 Tercius Vinho Tinto Tejo

Hot tip: Portugal makes wines with HUGE flavors…and very modest price tags. You’ll taste exactly what that means with our ever-popular Tercius. Crafted by rising star winemaker Antonia Barbosa, it puts Portugal’s strong suit—luscious red blends—on delicious display. Comprising local grapes Castelão, Aragonês (aka Tempranillo in neighboring Spain), Trincadeira, and Touriga Nacional (star grape of Port), it's a BIG, jammy beauty with a long history of winning gold + platinum medals. Uncork, pour, and unleash huge aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and strawberry compote. The palate bursts with more jammy notes, which give way to subtle undertones of toasty oak and vanilla. Decadently smooth and easy-drinking, Tercius is a great companion to roast chicken, French onion soup, or Portuguese octopus (polvo à lagareiro) with roasted potatoes.
