Portuguese Alfred C., Barrique, dry, 2008, 13.5% vol. from the Deutzerhof

For a Portuguese, this wine is quite dark and dense. Light roasted flavors, strawberry and other red fruits are just as much as kräutrige flavors in the nose and on the palate. The minerality of the slate floor, in which the sticks have been rooting their roots into the ground for decades, is also surprising in the mouth. We recommend pasta with mushrooms, wildfowl, rabbit or even zander on the skin for this wine. In summer slightly chilled to salads as `Red Summer Surprise`.
