Quinta De Fronteira Red

2014 Douro Tempranillo, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional

Quinta De Fronteira Red is a remarkable expression of the Douro region, showcasing the elegance and richness of the blend featuring Tempranillo, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional. Its deep red hue captivates the eye, hinting at the robust and structured character of the wine. On the palate, this wine balances a smooth mouthfeel with a bright acidity, creating a refreshing experience that complements its noteworthy tannins. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of dark berries and cherries, harmoniously integrated with subtle hints of spice and earthiness. This medium-bodied wine is deliciously dry, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or to enjoy on its own, revealing the unique terroir of the Douro valley. Whether savoring its complex profile now or allowing it to age gracefully, Quinta De Fronteira Red is a true testament to the artistry of Portuguese winemaking.

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.
