RED BLEND
Don’t sleep on Portuguese wine.
Portuguese wine has been flying under the radar for too long. It’s time to shine a spotlight on this region that, in our opinion, could give Bordeaux and Rioja a run for their money. Portugal has been making great wine since 2000 B.C. The wine here is steeped in tradition and there are so many indigenous grapes, we can’t count them here.
This wine features three grapes with big personalities. Touriga Nacional is known for its dark berry flavors, while Aragonês–also known as Tempranillo in Spain–lends a strong backbone of structure to the blend. Castelão, named after the parakeet, gives the wine a deep color and loud, fruity flavors.

ABOUT JOURNEY & DISCOVERY
PORTUGUESE RED BLEND
Move over olive oil, there’s a new pantry staple in town. The Journey & Discovery Portuguese Red Blend is a show-stopper. Heads will turn and ears will perk up when this busty red makes her way into your kitchen.
She’s a classic blend of three Portuguese grapes: Touriga Nacional, Castelão, and Aragonês. Together they create a bouquet bursting with blackberry, blueberry, plum, cocoa, and a touch of nutmeg. Dry, singing with dark fruit, and possibly too easy to drink, this wine is a match made in heaven for heavy stews, barbecued lamb, or burger night.
