CABERNET X PORTUGAL: THE DUO WE DIDN’T KNOW WE NEEDED

 

Clear your schedule for this one: Cabernet Sauvignon lovers are in for a revelatory experience with each sip of this powerful, full-bodied wine from Portugal. The sun shines on the Iberian peninsula and it shows in this juicy, dry red with ripe, spicy dark fruit and velvety oak aromas.

 

Look for notes of black currant, black cherry, baking spices, and mocha. Pairs perfectly with movie night, that sweater dress you love to wear, and cooking in the kitchen with your loved one.

 

HOW TO DRINK LIKE THE PORTUGUESE

 

The Portuguese live in the moment; they don’t want to wait decades for their wine to be ready. Just like you, they want their wine now. That’s why all over the Iberian peninsula, Portuguese winemakers craft solid, reliable “table wines.” Tables wines are everyday wines that make sense on any table. They’re uncomplicated, easy to drink, and pair with a variety of dishes. And the wines of Portugal are made to reflect the lifestyle that locals love and tourists are drawn to. Ortuga is an invitation to be in the moment, enjoy what you have, and don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be.
 

WHAT TO EAT WITH ORTUGA

 

Everyone knows that steak pairs well with Cabernet Sauvignon, and Ortuga is no exception. We recommend sirloin or T-Bone with Ortuga, and be sure to serve some potatoes and root vegetables with it. If you want to try something outside of the box, try stuffed portobello mushrooms, meat-lovers pizza, or venison.
