Old Vines

2013 Douro Red Blend

Lacrau Old Vines is a captivating red blend that beautifully showcases the unique terroir of the Douro region. This vintage from 2013 exhibits a vibrant red color, hinting at its youthful exuberance despite its age. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience with a bold character that is both expressive and inviting. The high acidity lends a mouthwatering quality, perfectly balancing the rich fruit intensity that bursts with flavors of dark berries and cherries. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm grip that harmonizes with the wine's complexity. Its dryness makes it incredibly versatile, making Lacrau Old Vines an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or simply enjoying by itself.

Portugal

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.
