Vinho Tinto Douro Red Blend

95 % Vinhão (red grape), 5% Loureiro (white grape)

Don’t be fooled by the pale color, this wine punches above its weight class. Very tannic but opens up in the glass and tastes great with a saucy chicken dish.

*From 30 year old vines planted on 1 hectare of granite soils in Vinho Verde. Organic & biodynamic farming, spontaneous fermentation, stainless steel tanks.

Proibido Grande Reserva Douro DOC 2013

Blend of multiple indigenous varieties (Donzelinho, T. Francisca, Alvarelhão, Sousão, etc.) from old vines in Vila Nova de Foz Côa in Douro Superior (Upper Douro), not far from the Spanish-Portuguese border (La Raia, an area known for its smuggling past. Hence the name). Aged in used oak barrels for 15 months. Intense nose with aromas of dark fruit, prunes, chocolate and some spices. Powerful, full-bodied. Despite the 15% alcohol it feels quite fresh. Elegant. Polished tannins. Great at almost 10 years — 4 years ago

Biotite Loureiro Blend

Vinho verde, not your grandmothers… which is to say biggish body, thicker viscosity, green & ripening white fruits. Enticing & serious. And for less than 17$. Savio Soares. — 3 months ago

Clearly I’m failing at that! 😜 I love Vinho Verde because it can have, it seems, many different expressions— like Chenin Blanc@Dave
