Ávidos Tinto

2016 Douro Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tempranillo

The Avidos Ávidos Tinto from the Douro region is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases a harmonious blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tempranillo, representing the rich viticultural heritage of Portugal. This 2016 vintage offers a medium-bodied experience with its well-balanced structure, complemented by vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing quality to the palate. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding depth without overwhelming the overall finesse of the wine. On the nose, aromas of ripe berries intertwine with subtle hints of spice, promising a fruit-forward profile that delights the senses. With a dry finish, this wine perfectly pairs with a variety of dishes, making it a fantastic choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
