Douro, Portugal

Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca

Rola Tinto is a bold but balanced red from the dramatic slopes of the Douro Valley — dark fruit, a hint of spice, and a lick of wild herbs all wrapped in smooth tannins and a fresh, mineral edge. It’s rich without being heavy, full of character and unmistakably Douro.

Brilliant with grilled meats, roasted veg, or a hearty beaf stew. It’s got that rugged Portuguese charm, but polished enough for a proper dinner. A go-to red when you want something a little different, with loads of flavour and a lovely sense of place.
