Wine description | A very fresh and balsamic aroma. Deep and concentrated, with vegetal notes and some stalks. Peppery, with notes of spice to reflect the heat of the hot summer months in the Douro. It is vibrant, with slightly rustic tannins, integrated into a refreshing acidity. The finish is long, mineral and extremely elegant. |
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....
