Wine Review - Sogrape 2022 Silk & Spice Red Blend Red (Portuguese Table Wine) Rating and Review | Wine Enthusiast

WineFolly - Portugal is a treasure trove of unique wines and grape varieties that are not well known outside the country. However, long ago, the country was at the leading edge of wine technology and can claim one of the world’s first demarcated wine regions (Port since 1757). So, when you combine the country’s longstanding wine traditions with the cornucopia of indigenous varieties, it makes Portugal one of the most exciting places for enthusiasts on the hunt for high quality and great value.

My Review - This wine was very good and had bold and delicate flavors. I could taste raspberry and some licorice. I could also taste notes of vanilla towards the end. 

Food - I had this wine with some margherita pizza which wasn't bad, and it offset the acidic flavor in the wine.
