Nature

2012 Dao 60% Touriga Nacional, 40% Tinta Roriz

Paco Dos Cunhas De Santar Nature, a delightful red wine from the Dão region, showcases a harmonious blend of sixty percent Touriga Nacional and forty percent Tinta Roriz. This wine presents a full-bodied profile complemented by its bright acidity and pronounced fruit intensity, which brings forth layers of dark berries and plum. The tannins are structured yet refined, lending a firm backbone to the wine, while the overall experience is dry, allowing the intrinsic qualities of the varietals to shine without overwhelming the palate. A testament to the Dão region's winemaking finesse, this 2012 vintage offers a beautifully balanced and compelling expression, inviting wine lovers to indulge in its complexity.

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.
