I know I've mentioned it in my previous wine review blog posts, but I'll say it again - we buy a lot of the wine we drink from Lidl. And I do mean a lot, as we drink a lot of wine.
Well, when I say we buy our wine from Lidl, I mean Mr.R - because he's the one who does the shopping.
Lidl is really good for wine, they have a good selection and reasonable prices.
This Portuguese wine is another bargain from Lidl, it's good value at £4.79, and it tasted much better than the price may suggest.
On the nose there were aromas of rich dark fruits, on the palate it was fresh, and young for a 2010, with delicious flavours of blueberries, blackberries, plums, spice, and a hint of tobacco, followed by a pleasantly smooth dry long finish.
We'd happily buy this wine again.
From the label -
This ruby red wine is made from the Baga grape variety, which is typical of the Bairrada region. Its intense flavour is reminiscent of plums and raspberries, with characteristic notes of rosin as well as hints of coconut and vanilla, which are emphasised by the cask maturation.
This full-bodied wine with a harmonious structure and long-lasting, fresh finish is ideal as an accompaniment to meat, particularly game.
Have you tried Uvas Douradas, Bairrada DOC Reserva 2010?
