Tasting Notes:

Sweet, fortified, full bodied red wine with fruit flavors of black plums, blackberries, and nacerated strawberries.  Non-fruit flavors present are  driven by notes of pipe tobacco, chocolate, and cinnamon.

Sophisticated Wine with Texas Roots 

At Brennan Vineyards we are committed to ‘authenticity from ground to glass’ and consumer transparency with all of our products.   Not only do we get our hands dirty in the Indian Creek alluvial sandy soils of the Comanche Vineyard  and the sandy soils over rock in Newburg; but we are pleased to work with fabulous grape growers from all across the state of Texas.  Each of our wines has its own unique history and story.  We hope to share with you a small fraction of that story.  Let’s start with the origin of the grapes and who grew them to make Portejas.
