Reserva

2008 Douro 34% Touriga Nacional 33% Tinta Roriz 33% Touriga Franca

Quinta Seara D'ordens Reserva, a captivating red from the esteemed Douro region, is a true testament to the rich heritage of Portuguese winemaking. This blend showcases the perfect harmony of thirty-four percent Touriga Nacional, thirty-three percent Tinta Roriz, and thirty-three percent Touriga Franca, each varietal contributing its unique character to the wine. The color is a deep, inviting ruby, hinting at the luscious flavors within. On the palate, one experiences a medium-bodied structure with bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of dark berries and plums, balanced beautifully by subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm backbone without overshadowing the wine's delicate nuances. This Reserva is a delightful expression of the Douro terroir and is ideal for pairing with hearty stews or rich cheeses, making it an excellent choice for any occasion, especially when celebrating with good company.

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.
