Qta Vale D. Maria Douro Red 2020

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

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.

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.

• Mature cheeses like aged cheddar or Manchego.
