The fruit intensity is prominent, highlighted by flavors of dark cherry and fig, while the tannins remain subtle and well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant finish. This vintage from 1960 stands out not only for its complexity and depth but also for its crispness, making it an exceptional choice for special occasions or refined pairings.

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.
