The Story Behind the Bottle
Portuga is a luscious, rich red made by Casa Santos Lima, a grand Portuguese estate in the Lisboa region, just north of the capitol and close to the Atlantic. The winery was founded by Joaquim Santos Lima in the late 19th century, and three generations later is one of Portugal’s most go-ahead cellars, with Maria João Santos Lima and José Luís Santos Lima Oliveira da Silva, granddaughter and great grandson of the founder, at the helm. Recently the go-ahead winemaker Vasco Martins has joined the team. Portuga is a rich, velvety blend of native varieties Castelão and Touriga Franca, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, aged gently in oak. Delicious served on its own, with rich pork dishes or tangy tomato pasta. It's ideal for a barbecue too.
