Paxis Red Blend (Bulldog)

Made by Jose Neiva Correia (winemaker), Paxis Red Blend wine comes from DFJ Vinhos in the Lisboa region of Portugal. It’s a blend of 34% Touriga Nacional, 33% Touriga Franca and 33% Tinta Roriz. Definitely a blend of varietals I haven’t experienced before. The story behind the name of this wine is interesting. One day, Dino Ventura (sales and marketing) saw children playing a very traditional and physical UK game called Bulldog in school.  During the game he heard children calling out “Paxis!” as a way to express immunity from being caught. He then related the word to “escape from the stress of the world where we could appreciate a great wine” and Paxis “Bulldog” was coined. The bulldog certainly looks relaxed on the bottle label!
