Douro Reserva

2014 Douro Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, Touriga Franca

Quinta De Fafide Douro Reserva is a splendid red wine that beautifully showcases the exceptional terroir of the Douro region. This vintage, crafted from a harmonious blend of Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, and Touriga Franca, exhibits a rich garnet hue that invites you to explore its depths. On the palate, it reveals a well-balanced profile, where ripe dark fruit notes, such as blackberry and plum, dance alongside hints of spice and subtle earthiness. The wine features a medium body that offers a satisfying mouthfeel, complemented by fresh acidity that enhances its vibrant character. Tannins are elegantly structured, providing a gentle grip without overwhelming the fruit, while the wine remains dry enough to make it versatile for pairing with food. This exceptional offering from Douro is a testament to the quality of the grapes 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.
