Tinta Barocca (Red)

The robust, earthy Portuguese Port making grape where it's name means "tinted grape of the gorge", a reference to the famous Port producing Douro Valley, is no stranger to Cape vineyards. A crew of other traditional Port varieties including the "king" of the Douro, Touriga Nacional, has joined it in recent years. The reason is that local Port producers often encouraged by supportive counterparts in Portugal, are aiming for a style more aligned with the original using the authentic grapes. Also used for some varietal unfortified wines.
