Domaine Vicus Portes 2023
Structured & Elegant Red
£25.50
100% Pinot Noir
A deeper, more serious Pinot Noir with real character—perfect when you want something a bit more special.
Why I chose this bottle
I picked this because it shows a different side of Pinot Noir—more structured, more intense, but still elegant.
It’s the kind of bottle you open when you want to slow down and really enjoy the wine.
What it tastes like
Dark berries, gentle spice, and a subtle smoky edge, with a fresh, slightly mineral finish that keeps it balanced.
It’s refined, but with enough depth to make it interesting from the first sip to the last.
When to drink it
A proper dinner where the wine matters
With rich, flavourful dishes
When you want something a bit more elevated
Food pairing
Perfect with:
Red meat with a red wine sauce
Game dishes
Rich, savoury meals where the wine can really shine
Serving temperature
Serve slightly cool (around 14–16°C) to keep its freshness and structure.
If you like this, you’ll love it
Great if you enjoy:
Pinot Noir with more depth
Elegant but structured reds
Wines with a bit of complexity
Why it’s worth it
This isn’t your typical light Pinot—it’s more expressive, more layered, and worth taking your time with.
