Origin

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned wine region known for its steep terraced vineyards and ideal conditions for red wine production.

Variety

This wine is typically a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, which may include Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal characteristics and complexity. Aging is done in oak barrels to enhance structure and add subtle vanilla and spice notes.

Tasting notes

  • Color: Deep ruby red with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by floral and spicy notes.
  • Palate: Full-bodied with balanced tannins, rich fruit flavors, and a smooth, lingering finish.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Mature cheeses like aged cheddar or Manchego.
  • Roasted vegetables and dishes with rich sauces.
