The oldest demarcated wine region in the world and fourteen generations of winemakers combine to produce the perfect easy-drinking Douro. You want deep and rich and intense? You got it. You want a bit of chocolate and wet earth and smoke and leather wrapped in sweet cherry and oak and vanilla? You got it. Open alongside a bbq picanha or an osso bucco and imagine a late September sun setting over the hills of the Upper Douro.
What The Sommelier Says
Bright wine with a ruby red color, aromas of ripe fruit, blackberries and notes of wood. On the mouth, a pleasant medley of forest fruits with wild flower.
Pairs well with…
…grilled or roasted meats, and other intense flavors and textures. Pasta carbonara or some meat empanadas wouldn’t disappoint.

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.
