Portinho de Covo

A gift from a supper visitor last weekend! We tend to be rather restricted in our explorations of Portuguese wines, so this was a welcome change. It is a blend of Castelao,Alicante and Syrah grapes, from the Setubal peninsular, immediately south of Lisbon. It was full-bodied, deep, with a lot of fruit and berry flavours. Only available from Laithwaites and other linked clubs at around £5.50 a bottle. Quite a bargain.
