Touriga Franca 50% , Touriga Nacional 25% , Tinta Roriz 25%
A classic red Douro blend - ripe and characterful.
PRODUCTION The indigenous red grapes are cultivated in fine soils with some schist in vineyards situated near Cambres, in the western part of the Douro valley and south of the river. The climate here is warm and dry. After fermentation a third of the wine spends 6 months in 2nd year French oak barrels, before the final blending and bottling.
TASTING NOTE Complex aromas of red berry, bramble fruit and a touch of spice. The palate has blackberry and plum notes balanced by some savoury characters, bright acidity, a hint of pepper and ripe tannins.
FOOD MATCH Roast lamb and pork - perhaps a classic Portuguese bean and rice dish.
