Douro Valley, Portugal

Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Syrah, Petit Verdot

A gorgeous Douro red with plenty of character, bringing together ripe blackberries, juicy dark cherries and plum, with hints of wild herbs, spice and a subtle touch of oak. Expect generous fruit, a lovely freshness and smooth, well-structured tannins that make every sip feel effortlessly balanced.

This one is made for hearty Portuguese-inspired cooking: think grilled chorizo, slow-braised beef with garlic and red wine, or a plate of smoky pork with crispy roast potatoes. A mushroom and thyme pappardelle would be right at home here too! Rustic, inviting and full of flavour - a little taste of the Douro.
