Foral Douro

2013 Douro Tempranillo, Touriga Franca

The Foral Foral Douro from the esteemed 2013 vintage is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases the native varietals Tempranillo and Touriga Franca. Originating from the renowned Douro region, this wine exhibits an elegant balance of complexity and fruit-forward charm. With a medium body, it carries a delightful freshness, supported by bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering luscious flavors of ripe red berries intertwined with nuanced earthy undertones. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, adding structure and depth without overshadowing the wine's vibrant character. This full-bodied delight is dry and inviting, making it an ideal companion for roasted meats or a cozy gathering with friends.

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.
