Vallado Douro Tinto 2021

A RIPE, FULL, SPICY DRY RED BLEND OF NATIVE PORTUGUESE GRAPES

 

"Red-blue fruits and florals (violet and the local scrubby bush ‘Esteva’) with smokey blue schist aromatics - definitively ‘Douro’! There are lovely cake-bake aromatics – think Clafoutis, along with the stone-soil-berry amalgam. The palate is led by a stony minerality, quite the opposite of any ‘Porty’ referent. Restrained, fresh-and-earthy wine with lovely fruit spice and elegance.

A blend of 70% old, 30% young vineyards. Touriga Nacional 25%, Touriga Franca 25%, with Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Sousao. The younger vines age in stainless, the older spends 16 months in 3-4 yo French oak." - The Spanish Acquisition
