Dodhursio Red Meandro

2005 Douro Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca

The Meandro Dodhursio Red Meandro, a captivating blend of Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca, emerges from the picturesque Douro region, renowned for its breathtaking terraced vineyards and rich winemaking heritage. This vintage, with its stunning red hue, showcases a harmonious profile that is both robust and approachable. With a generous body that offers a satisfying mouthfeel, it strikes a delightful balance of zingy acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of vibrant red and dark fruit flavors, while the tannins provide a firm structure, lending depth and character to the wine. Its dryness adds to the overall elegance, making this wine a splendid companion for a range of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews. The Meandro Dodhursio is not just a drink; it’s a delightful experience that captures the essence of its origin.

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.
