Origin

The Sousão Douro Red is produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned wine region known for its steep terraced vineyards and rich winemaking heritage.

Variety

This wine is made primarily from the Sousão grape variety, a native Portuguese red grape known for its deep color and vibrant acidity.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and highlight the natural acidity and fruit profile of the Sousão grape.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with intense purple hues.
  • Aroma: Fresh and vibrant aromas of red berries, black cherries, and subtle floral notes.
  • Palate: Crisp acidity balanced with juicy red fruit flavors, a hint of spice, and a smooth, refreshing finish.

Food pairings

  • Grilled or roasted red meats
  • Hearty stews and casseroles
  • Portuguese traditional dishes such as roasted lamb or chorizo
  • Mature cheeses like Manchego or aged Gouda
