"Tinta Amarela was planted at Abacela 10 years ago and has stood out year after year for its ripeness and intriguing flavor profile. This motivated the planting of new vineyard blocks with an eye for producing a dry, red table wine. We were rewarded with the Abacela Tinta Amarela 2012, which is fine in texture and tannins and offers aromas of tangy blueberries, mulberries, mushrooms, and rose petals. This leads into complex flavors of dried raspberries, citrus, and tea leaf. Recommended food pairings include herbes de Provence crusted pork tenderloin."
