Salao Frio, Domino 2020 (Alentejo, Portugal)

The complex, elegant, and even dare we say it Burgundian (??) wines of Vitor Claro and Rita Ferreira at Domin Winery come from a small, old vine vineyard of co-planted varietals in the Portalegre district of Alentejo, which is known for its uniquely cool climate in an otherwise warm region. Salo Frio is their first and, to date, most important wine. A true pleasure to drink, it pairs well with a remarkable range of flavors, and is blessedly only about 11% alcohol (because just one glass is certainly not enough).
