Terra do Rio Tinta Cão

So many interesting things emerging from the brick red soils of Ricca Terra. Here's a rare bird that is starting to take flight.

Tinta Cao is a red grape native to Portugal. It's traditionally used as a key part of the local blends for their legendary fortifieds. Here it gets to showcase its own identity as a table wine.

Like most Portuguese reds, it's about flavour, body and ooddles of spice.

It's a rough and tough character with slicked back hair - slippery, saucy and ready for a night on the town.
