This exquisite wine boasts a full-bodied character, enveloping the palate with its rich and luscious profile. Its acidity is well-balanced, lending a bright and lively quality that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush notes of ripe red fruits accompanied by deeper nuances of dark berries and subtle spice. Tannins are firm yet refined, contributing to the wine's structure and ageing potential. The wine is beautifully dry, allowing the complex flavors to shine through without being overshadowed. A true expression of the 2014 vintage, this Grande Reserva is both enjoyable now and promises further development with time.

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.
