2023 porco preto
2023
Description
We've been playing around up here at piggs peake with some new vineyards and some different winemaking techniques.
Touriga especially fascinates us. We have made it into a fortified wine, an ageing wine named pig schist, an early drinking red named pigs breath and now we are proud to release the porco preto!!!
In this latest incarnation, touriga from different vineyards have been made in different ways (aged in tank, in small oak and in large oak) with a view to increasing the complexity of the final blend. Some of the vineyards have contributed to the floral nose, others to the gentle mouthfeel while a trace amount of McLaren Vale Shiraz has brought it all together to make this very drinkable wine.
Try it in the medium term with char grilled beef skewers.
Wine Details
