Colheita

2012 Douro Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca

Portal Colheita is a captivating red wine from the esteemed Douro region, where the rich slate soils nurture its remarkable varietals, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca. With its deep ruby hue, this wine enchants the eye, and the complex nose reveals layers of ripe dark fruits, cocoa, and a hint of spice, inviting you to indulge. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied structure, showcasing a harmonious balance of high acidity and well-integrated tannins that lend a firm yet smooth character. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with flavors that linger, offering a delightful experience. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for rich meat dishes or aged cheeses, and it perfectly embodies the essence of the Douro Valley.

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.
