Lisboa Velha means "Old Lisbon", a tribute to the city of trams, kiosks and tiled façades that visitors come to find. The wine comes from the Lisbon wine region, where the nearby Atlantic keeps the wines fresh and balanced. This red is a dry, smooth blend of Castelão, Aragonez and Syrah.

Deep ruby. Fruity, with ripe red berries and a subtle hint of spice. Soft, balanced and smooth, with gentle tannins and a medium-bodied finish.
