Quinta Do Mondego

2010 Dao Mencia, Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo

Quinta Do Mondego, a captivating red wine from the esteemed Dão region, showcases an exquisite blend of Mencia, Touriga Nacional, and Tempranillo varietals. The 2010 vintage exudes a charming complexity with its medium-bodied structure, making it approachable yet intriguing. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the wine's rich and vibrant fruit intensity, which reveals notes of black cherry and plum intertwined with subtle hints of spice. Tannins are present but well-integrated, providing a firm framework that adds to the wine’s overall depth without overpowering its elegant layers. This delightful wine is skillfully crafted to deliver a dry, harmonious experience, making it an ideal companion for a range of hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fireplace.

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.
