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: A blend of Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc.
The wine has a delicate yellow colour with greenish tones. Its’ aromas reveal a citrus profile with hints of tangerine, with subtle pear and peach flavours and satisfies the palate with a fresh and lingering finish. Its light and dry acidity and subtle influence of the ocean deliver a special gastronomic disposition to all seafood, light pasta, cold cuts and light Asia cuisine – or as a refreshing summer aperitif.
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’.
