Toboadella Villae Red
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The Villae wines are a blend of unoaked varieties that showcase the character of the Taboadella grape. They are intense yet delicately scented, lighter in body, and feature soft tannins along with refreshing acidity.
- The Villae red wine is a unique blend made from four distinctive grape varieties, creating what can be described as a “perfect marriage.”
- The Tinta Roriz grape adds structure and strength, while Jaen contributes natural dynamism. Alfrocheiro introduces a sense of minerality, and Tinta Pinheira reveals aromas reminiscent of forests and woodlands.Varietal: Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Pinheira
