The grapes Vinhão

A variety with major expansion, grown throughout the region for its quality and because it is the only red variety in the region.

Produces wines of intense garnet red color, with a vinous aroma, evidenced in the berry aromas (blackberry and raspberry), with an equally vinous, full-bodied and slightly astringent taste.

The grape Vinhão is also grown across the border in Galicia, the northwestern corner of Spain, where it is known by the names Sousao, Souzao, Souson and various permutations of those forms.

As is standard for a Portuguese grape variety, Vinhão has a complex network of synonyms and grape varieties which may, or may not, be identical.

 Synonyms include: Tinto Nacional, Tinto Antigo, Negrao, Negrao Pe de Perdiz, Espadeiro da Tinta, Espadeiro Basto, Espadeiro Preto, Tinto da Parada, Pinta Femea, Sousao, Souzao, Souson.

Vinhao's vineyard acreage is on the increase, and is spreading eastwards and inland towards the Douro (where it is called Sousao). Here, the variety's natural acidity and depth of color is making it an increasingly popular inclusion in Port. Any wine destined for fortification and/or extended aging requires good acid structure, and Vinhão offers not only this but also high potential alcohol.

BEER BOBELINE BLOND

Blonde Belgium Beer Bobeline lager is a refermented bottled 8.5° beer. Although it packs a punch, it goes down well at pre-dinner drinks and can accompany a simple meal. However, it remains a degustation beer first and foremost. It forms part of the strong lager category. It is full-bodied and has a thick head. When you taste it, you notice a fruity, slightly zesty and spicy taste, in addition to barley and yeast, with a tinge of bitterness, but no hint of aggressiveness. ABOUT THE BREWERY… Didier Dumalin had the idea of creating Bobeline, a beer named after Spa, in 1991. “Although I am originally from Liège”, he says, “I have been coming to Spa on holiday every year in August, since I was a young boy. I have always adored this area, and wanted to do something here. This is why I created a beer, Bobeline, in Spring 1991, which was introduced to mark the Crêtes de Spa event”. Bobeline started out well, and then clearly “just got by” for around ten years. The beer actually
