Pacheca Douro Red 2023

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine regions in the world, known for its steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River.

The wine is typically a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, which may include:

• Touriga Nacional
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Touriga Franca

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit character. The wine is then aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and smooth tannins before bottling.

Pacheca Douro Red presents a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by subtle spicy and floral notes. On the palate, it is well-balanced with smooth tannins, fresh acidity, and a lingering finish.

• Grilled red meats and lamb
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Portuguese traditional dishes such as roasted goat or chorizo
• Mature cheeses
