Muxagat Tinta Barroca

Tinta Barroca is a Portuguese wine variety that I found often during the days I was a Western Cape inhabitant in South Africa. Stumbling on the bottle brought to me those memories, as well as the brand, Muxagat one of my favorites in the days wine trading was confined to a short spectrum of producers.

Earth, soil, vinum mustum, red fruits, and dark cherries in the aromas.

Light, without being thick, damn it, what a kick from typical Portuguese wine character, it is punchy. There is slight lack of focus, no tricks, no deceit, mostly red fruits floating. Ends peppery, astringent plays with my tongue and I love it.
