Douro D.O.C. Lote 001/005

2005 Douro Touriga Nacional

Quinta Da Pacheca Douro D.O.C. Lote 001/005 is a remarkable red wine crafted from the esteemed Touriga Nacional varietal, hailing from the picturesque Douro region of Portugal. This vintage, characterized by its full-bodied structure, offers a delightful balance of rich acidity that enhances its overall profile. The wine showcases a pronounced fruit intensity, revealing layers of dark berries and plum, while the tannins are firm, providing a well-structured mouthfeel without overwhelming the palate. Its exquisite aging potential is further complemented by a medium-dry finish, making it a versatile choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own. This exceptional wine beautifully reflects the terroir of the Douro Valley and the craftsmanship behind its production.

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.
