Silk & Spice Red Blend Wine
With its quite literal ‘silky and spicy' profile, Silk & Spice gives new meaning to the 16th century trade route between Europe and Asia. The "Silk & Spice Route" was pioneered by Portuguese explorers in 1498, and enabled the world to enjoy flavors like nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. Some of these spices and aromas come alive in this red blend, whose exceptional flavors and deep, rich layers can be attributed to indigenous grapes and Portugal's unique terroir.

A Intense ruby colored red wine blend, characterized by intense aromas of ripe red and black fruit, such as blackberries and ripe plum. The spicy character if this wine comes from the vanilla, black pepper and pink peppercorn, combined with hints mocha. A full-bodied wine with a balanced taste, very soft tannins and a long and balanced finish.
