Tyto alba tinto 2016 is the best Portuguese red wine and one of the 30 best in the world

  • January 4, 2023
Companhia das Lezírias sees its wines increasingly awarded internationally.

The most rigorous, impartial and influential wine competition in the world has just awarded three wines from Companhia das Lezírias. The International Wine Challenge (IWC), which judges the wines through blind tasting, considering its fidelity to the style, region and vintage, distinguished the wine Tyto alba tinto 2016 as the best Portuguese wine in competition, giving it the title “Portuguese Trophy Wine Winner 2020” and placing it in the list of the 30 best wines in the world.

The Tyto alba red 2016 wine, which had already won the gold medal in the 1st tranche, with 95 points, was again awarded Gold in the “Portuguese Red Trophy” category, now with 96 points. The panel chaired by Brendan Heath and Charles Metcalfe, said about this wine: “This is a pleasant floral wine with an elegant aroma of violets, medium body and deep notes of black fruit and spices. Intense, with mint, plum and licorice. Deep, soft, fine and elegant. Finishes with subtle oak notes.”

Portugal was the best performing country this year.

Co-chair, Helen McGinn, commented, “What distinguishes the International Wine Challenge from any other world wine competition is the openly democratic way in which the wines are judged. We pride ourselves on having expert judges from all areas of the industry who taste the wines, giving each wine the best opportunity to be judged as fairly as possible.”

The distinction of the International Wine Challenge gives the winning wines a guarantee of quality.
