Vidigal Brutalis 2017
Introduction
Vidigal Brutalis 2017 is a bold and "individual" red wine from the Lisboa (Lisbon) region of Portugal. Known for its intensity and robust character—as suggested by its name—it is produced by Vidigal Wines, a family-run winery located near the city of Leiria. The wine stands out not only for its power but also for its distinctive packaging, which often features a heavy dark glass bottle and a "Wanted" style label reminiscent of the Wild West.
Wine Description
The 2017 vintage is a rich, full-bodied blend primarily composed of Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red colour with purple hues. The bouquet is complex and highly spicy, featuring fresh notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and cherry pit, alongside a strong presence of dark chocolate.
On the palate, Brutalis is vigorous and well-structured with a velvety texture. It offers concentrated flavours of ripe black fruits (blueberry and blackberry) integrated with oriental spices, cocoa, and vanilla from its time in French oak barrels. The finish is long, spicy, and persistent, where smoky notes from the wood interconnect with ripe fruit.
