Red Wine Marquês de Marialva 2006

Hi there today I bring you a cheap wine...
but never the less a good one ;)
It's a red wine from the Bairrada region...

Here some info about this wine:

The red 2006 Marquês de Marialva Reserva comes from Portugal's Bairrada appellation.
Light cherry red in the glass, an unexpectedly terrific nose of spicy oak and vanilla, black earth and truffles leapt out of the glass. Simple, crisp and light bodied on the palate with decent fruit - a "Bojo meets Rioja" treat.
Probably the best wine I have ever tasted at this price point, and a wine that should pair easily with lighter or heavier meat dishes.

My personal opinion of this is wine is.... Great!
Yes, this wine is a very nice wine, and also very very affordable....
It's a very good choice for a meat dish indeed ;)

But, I leave (as always) the final opinion to you... ;)

See the official site of this wine here.

Cheers...

Porca de Murça Red Wine

Produced from traditional varieties of the Region, the grape selection originates from old vine
parcels in typical microclimates and soils bordering tributaries to the Douro river. After
fermentation under rigorously controlled conditions, the wine aged in small barrels, 50% of
which were new Portuguese oak. The resulting wine exhibits nicely integrated aromas of wood,
vanilla and ripe red fruit flavour.
While possessing a deep colour and full body, the taste impression is round and extremely
smooth.
Served at room temperature, the preferred accompaniments are meat plates and strong cheeses.

As for my personal opinion, I must say I really loved the taste of this red wine...
The price of this red wine may seem a little expensive...
But for a special occasion it's worth... :)

I will keep this one in my Drink More Of This List :D
