History & Winemaking
Silk & Spice is produced in Portugal’s coastal regions, where centuries of winemaking tradition meet modern innovation. The name is a nod to the historic trade route linking Europe to Asia, which brought exotic spices like nutmeg and cinnamon – flavours echoed in the wine’s profile.
Partial oak maturation enhances the wine’s complexity without overpowering its fruit-forward charm. This attention to detail makes Silk & Spice a standout choice for wine drinkers exploring Portuguese blends.
