Domini

2012 Douro Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca

Jose Maria Da Fonseca Domini is a remarkable red wine that showcases a harmonious blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca, all hailing from the esteemed Douro region. This 2012 vintage presents a beautifully deep ruby hue that entices with its rich appearance. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, supported by a structured backbone of tannins that provide a robust yet smooth mouthfeel. The acidity is vibrant, adding a refreshing lift to the wine's character, while the fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and plums intertwined with subtle hints of spice and floral undertones. The wine is crafted to be dry, allowing its flavorful complexity to shine through, making it a delightful pairing for a variety of hearty dishes or an enjoyable sip on its own.

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.
