Description
Sporting Wine Club has pleasure in announcing the launch of our first Portuguese wines. Iain Brown ‘Brownie’ owns Vihna do Falesia, a medal winning boutique vineyard near Lagos, in the western Algarve. The dramatic location of the vineyard, sweeping south to the Atlantic and sitting atop 100’ cliffs, is the most southerly vineyard in Portugal and also closest to the sea, delivering a subtle maritime influence to the wines.
The Wine: This Vinha do Falesia Tinto is a 2018 Vintage and is blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and local Touriga Nacional. The wine demonstrates a lovely colour concentration of ruby with garnet nuances. Its aromas reveal full, ripe fruit, red fruit jam and some aromatic herbs such as thyme and rosemary. A balanced yet concentrated red with long, smooth tannins…with a hint of the ocean.
The 1st XV labels come from Brownie’s long-term love and involvement in rugby. They are also inspired by the 1st XV Club (part of the Bath Rugby Foundation), a charity set up by David Trick ‘Tricky’ and co-founded by Brownie and 14 other individuals. The 1st XV Club is also actively supported by the Sporting Wine Club and its founder Simon Halliday ‘Hallers’.
