Dandy De Cidrô - Red 2023

Description & Pairings: 

The Dandy Red is made from three very original grapes: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Francisca, and Viosinho. By picking very early, we are able to find lightness, fresh red fruit character, and low alcohol content. The Viosinho, as a white grape, brings an exotic and original side “palhete style” with very soft tannins. A wine to pair with “giggles”, and enjoy at any moment…

This wine draws our attention at first for its light garnet colour – unusual for Douro reds. On the nose, we get notes of cherry, raspberry, and white flowers combined with cool hints of greens. On the palate, we get a fun, vibrant style, with a light structure and smooth tannins, which together with its lower alcoholic content, offer a pleasureful and easy-drinking experience.

Food Pairing: Goes well with Poultry, charcuterie, Asian cuisine, mushrooms, and light cheeses.
