DRINK OF THE WEEK
27th January 2025
Loved and Found Sousao
Waitrose £8.99
Drinker Rating 90
Blimey, these storms keep on rolling in don't they? And tis bitter cold. So what we need is a full on hearty red to warm our battered souls.
Big, powerful wines are just what;s called for here but so often a 'big wine' can be a blunt instrument - all sugary, jammy fruit and a lump of alcohol to boot. This sousao is a belter, sure it does have a big black fruit character but there's some lovely peppery spice in there too.
It's a new grape on me but apparently one of the key ingredients in Port and you really get that with its 145 alcohol supporting the bold fruit.
If you're not keen on it you can rub it on your chest!
Cheers!
