Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The Quinta Do Espirito Santo 2017 is a fresh and fruity wine from Lisboa, Portugal, that will appeal to the amateur of uncommon grape types. Blended from two native grapes, Tinta Roriz and Castelão, the wine shows aromas of black plum, blueberry, earl grey tea, granite dust, bread, vanilla and baking chocolate. Perfect for any occasion, the wine delivers supple acidity, polished tannins, and a warm and long finish. Palate: blackberry, black raspberry, violet, leather, vanilla and oak. Enjoy!
From Caso Santos Lima, Quinta Do Espírito Santo 2017 is a fantastic value Portuguese Tinta Roriz and Castellan red wine blend under $15. Fragrant with ripe dark plum, raisins and dried fig notes on the nose; full-bodied, dry with plenty of backbone and character. Look for ripe dark fruit, crushed dark raspberry, mocha finishing fruity, spicy and smooth. Pair with grilled game sausages. This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2019 Mundus Vini, Spring Tasting. - Community Wine Reviews
