Dão Red Blend 2013
Importer notes are more descriptive/educational than my own: "A blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Baga from the granite soils of Quinta do Corujão. The Touriga Nacional is foot trodden in lagar, while the Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Baga are fermented in stainless steel tank at low temperatures with little extraction. Aged for 12 months 30 percent new and 70 percent used French oak barrels."
Deep purple/violet color, nose of cassis/ripe plum and wild flowers. On the palate, it is fresh with soft tannins and practically no acidity, with its very velvety texture.
Absolutely stunning pairing with our local, grass fed Angus burgers, nestled into the best Sourdough buns your ever dug your teeth into. (Our local baker from France is a crazy Sourdough guy, he does everything with it; Pizza crusts are other-worldly!) — 9 years ago

Delicious limited production white wine from #Ribeiro the best wine I’ve ever had from Ribeiro. It’s amazing the lees work on this wine it seems like it was fermented in oak and it’s just skilled winemaking that gives it an amazing structure and creaminess. — 5 years ago

Doelas Rías Baixas Albariño 2015
Really good, pure mineral driven style. Not the leesy juicy fruit style but more along the lines of Do Ferreiro. Delicious but not ideal for blinds. — 9 years ago
Lagar de Bezana
Alto Cachapoal GSM Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre Blend 2013
Um vinho espetacular. Ando cada vez mais encantado com os vinhos chilenos baseados na dupla Grenache e Mourvèdre. No caso do Benzana , ainda temos todas as especiarias que somente a syrah pode oferecer. — 10 years ago

Food wine. Likes lots of air. A good jostle and not too cold really brings this out.
A protein ( in this case cold poached salmon) really makes this wine stretch out. Tangerines and honey on the nose, dried oranges and salt on the palate. The fish w lime, soy, and ginger really developed a broad palate and long finish.
Lots of weird varietals , all bush grown, I believe foot trod, then 1/2 in neutral French oak. I believe the other 1/2 cement. Some tasters say grippy tannins. I get plenty of acid and salt. Fino and Manzanilla fans should dig it. “A field blend of indigenous white varieties from two small centenarian vineyards at around 500-600 meters of elevation. The grapes were foot trodden in lagar and allowed to ferment on the skins. The wine was then aged for 9 months in a combination of concrete and 225L used french oak. “

A Lagar is a concrete trough used in Portugal for crushing grapes.
Thanks @chambersstwines.

Day 2 possibly richer, saltier. Perfect foil for cold fried chicken.
