Douro Red Blend
This is the white Douro. 2018 vintage. A blend from 70% viosinho, 20% codega do larinho and 10% couveio. Sister and brother oenologists team. 80% of the fruit is sourced in Baixo Corgo (Poiares, 700 m altitude) and 20% in the Douro Superior (Murças, 580 m altitude). Whole cluster pressing and fermentation in stainless steel. White peach and flowers in the nose. In the mouth the juicy white peach fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a distinctive minty finish with very good length. Amazing value at less than 12 euro. Abv. 12,5%.

Jul 7th, 2022Portuguese Red Blend (55% Touriga National, 25% Castas de Vinhas Velhas, and 20% Sausao). Big black and red fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of leather, purple flowers, spices and tar. Dark inky color with medium tannins, good balance and a long finish. Bold and concentrated, but not out of control.

Aug 29th, 2021Portugiese wine rocks. Dark berries, spices, leather and nice acidity. Might even get more complex over the next couple of years.

Nov 19th, 2020Lots of big black fruit. High tannins. Mod + acidity. A bit of a fruit bomb. Lacks complexity.

Oct 9th, 2020Ripe red fruit, spice, and notes of pepper with plenty of structure to hold it together. Classic Douro. Good now but tannins will smooth more with a few years in the cellar. 2017 vintage on Jan 12, 2020
