Quinta do Gradil - Tannat


Quinta do Gradil - Tannat
shipping on 16-12
A powerful Tannat expressing the intensity of this naturally tannic grape grown in Lisbon’s inland hills. The first Tannat to be produced in Portugal.
Pre- and post-fermentation maceration, plus partial ageing in French oak, create deep ruby colour, black-fruit concentration and layers of cocoa, caramel and resinous spice.
Full-bodied and long, it stands up beautifully to hearty Portuguese dishes—bean stews, sausages, pork roasts and slow-cooked meats.
Quinta do Gradil is one of Portugal’s oldest wine estates, with documented origins dating back to 1492. Its vineyards benefit from a unique meeting of Atlantic influence and inland warmth, allowing both Portuguese and international varieties to thrive. Quinta do Gradil is known for producing elegant, character-driven wines and their bold use of varieties obscure in Portugal like Tannat or Malbec.
