"Silk & Spice is a tribute to the spirit of adventure shown by the Portuguese navigators who explored the globe in the 15th century and discovered the commercial silk and spice routes. Silk Route celebrates its namesake and is a smooth, ruby-colored red wine with aromas of red fruit, white chocolate and vanilla. Thanks to the art of blending wines, the native grape varieties and Portugal's unique terroir, this wine has a finish that is both silky and smooth." —winemaker

"This easy drinking red wine is a modern expression of the spices discovered on the 'Spice Route' by Portuguese explorers in 1498. These explores opened up the Western world to exciting new flavors such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. The wine has extraordinary, rich flavors born of Portugal’s indigenous grapes and unique terrain. Intense, deep ruby color, with a bright red rim. The predominant flavors are ripe, cooked black fruits. Sweet notes of vanilla and hints of mocha. The first impression in the mouth is rich and full. Excellent balance of tannins and acidity, with a long, smooth finish." —winemaker
