Amoras 2018

Portugal's characterful reds are criminally under represented in Australia. But we're righting that wrong with full flavoured beauties like Amoras. It comes from Casa Santos Lima, a grand, family-run property near Lisbon and the Atlantic coast. It was founded by Joaquim Santos Lima at the end of the 19th century and, three generations later, is one of Portugal's most go-ahead cellars. The wine was made by bull wrestling Diogo Sepúlveda, who has worked in Pomerol, Napa Valley and at 5-Star Halliday rated Turkey Flat in the Barossa. Amoras brings together four cracking local grape varieties: leafy raspberry Castelão, juicy cherry-rich Camarate, cassis-laden Touriga Nacional, and plummy Alicante Bouschet! It's a stunner - enjoy!
