RKS 2026 Portuguese Wine: Morgado Silgueiros 2021 Reserva (Vinho Tinto) from Portugal’s Dão Region

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

I was fortunate a few years ago to benefit from a five-day media trip to Portugal’s Dão region relatively close to Porto. The wines and cuisine did not fail to impress. Our base in Viseu was a charming town with a fascinating medieval centre. It is worth a visit as is the Dão wine region.

Morgado Silgueiros 2021 Reserva is produced by Adega Cooperativa de Silgueiros which we did not visit. On occasion I review their wines all scoring close to 90/100.

The wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional (50%), Tinta Roriz (30%) and Alfrochiero (20%).

Aroma: Red and black fruit particularly black cherry and cherry liqueur. A smidge of chocolate covered cherries and rhubarb.

Palate: Grippy tannins. Firm body. Lean. Santa Rosa plum, raspberry and more of that cherry liqueur.

Personality: Consider me a good everyday wine. Basic. Well made. A fair deal.

Food Match: Beef for sure. Ox filet. Vegetarians may want to pair with lentil-black bean “meatballs”.

Cellarbility: No point in ageing. Drink in 2026

Price: $17 CDN.

RKS 2026 Portuguese Wine Rating: 88/100. Natalie MacLean 88.
