What The Fellas Say

We smell rich earth spiced with oak and baked in a blackberry tart. In fact, we thought, this would go quite well with a fruit pie but couldn’t find one fast enough. Instead, drank it with a side of beef ravioli. Perfect. And the verdict is it will taste even better in 5 years!

What The Sommelier Says

Intense ruby color. Young, and full of fruit. Notes of forest fruits and discreet notes of toast from the barrel. Excellent freshness, complexity and acidity. Long and persistent aftertaste.

Pairs well with…

…grilled prime red meats like a juicy picanha or t-bone, though a lamb chop or a rich pasta might not be a bad shout either.

About The Winemakers

Quinta das Herédias is a historic Douro estate in Tabuaço with roots traced to the 12th century, linked to Cistercian monks from the Monastery of São Pedro das Águias. Later sources describe the property as part of a group of estates in the Cima Corgo and note its focus on Port, with estate vineyards on the south bank of the Douro. The current commercial listing places Herédias Port wines under Carlos Lucas / Magnum Wines.Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Tinta Francisca and Sousão are common red grape varieties and Viosinho, Códega, Malvasia-fina, Gouveio and Rabigato are a few white ones.

About The Winemakers

Region: Douro

The wines of the Douro Valley are known for their depth, complexity, and aging potential. The soil is predominantly schist, a type of metamorphic rock that retains heat and helps to ripen the grapes. The region’s unique terroir, combined with the use of indigenous grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques, create wines that are rich, complex, and full of character.
