Wine description | Deep red color and dense. Intense aroma, fine and elegant, of great complexity, where the aromas of fresh ripe fruits, floral aromas such as violet, and aromas such as iodine, and resinous ones like the esteva and exotic woods stand out. |
Douro Red wines range in style from light and fruity to lush and smooth to dark and dense with flavors of mature dark fruit, with herbal and schist.
The wines are often and inky purple due to the thickening of the skins from the intense summer heat of the region.
Most of the best made reds from the region come from the larger port houses where the skill of the winemakers go back for generations....
