This is one of those wines that does more than what it says on the tin. It might look like a traditional Douro red but it’s more subtle than that. Open it a few minutes before drinking and let it breathe. It will reveal its complexity and reward your patience.
What The Sommelier Says
Young and complex at the same time, with notes of wild berry. Elegant in the mouth with good structure and volume. A wine with some complexity and well-marked acidity. Long and persistent aftertaste.
Pairs well with…
…grilled prime red meats like a juicy picanha or t-bone, or a hearty game stew.

About The Winemakers
Carlos Lucas Douro project, always working closely with nature and its unpredictability, the estate strives to produce harvests with minimal human intervention, regardless of the weather conditions each year. Environmental preservation is a key concern, leading to the adoption of Integrated Production Methods, a strict regime that limits the types of treatments allowed for the vineyard.
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.

Region: Douro
The wines of the Douro Valley, typically a blend of grape varieties, 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.
