Sunce Winery 2021 Trincadeira

From St. George Vineyard in Lodi, this case of 12 bottles of Trincadeira is a Double Gold Medal Winner from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Trincadeira or Tinta Amarela is an ancient Portuguese varietal grown in the Douro and Alentejo regions. A mere 5 acres are grown in California, all in Lodi. Aromatics of Italian herbs steeped in black tea tease the senses and beg for extended sniffing before sipping. On the palate it is juicy and lively with mixed jellybeans mingling with cotton candy meeting a fleshy cocoa character tinged in balsamic. The finish is the best part, it’s like a good first impression, it keeps you reminiscing about it. Pair with paella, sauced polenta, cheesy grits, creamy risottos, paprika chicken, pates, and salami laden charcuterie. In cheese, think soft, like Brie or a creamy Jack. No shipping to AL, AK, DE, KY, MA, MS, MT, NH, OK, and UT. ** Special flat rate shipping and tax of $70 per case to all Continental US States **
