Reserva

2011 Dao Touriga Nacional 40% Tinta Roriz 20% Alfrocheiro 20% Jaen 20%

Cunha Martins Reserva is a remarkable red wine from the prestigious Dão region, showcasing a masterful blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, and Jaen. This full-bodied wine captivates with its deep ruby hue, hinting at the rich flavors within. With bright acidity, it presents a refreshing counterpart to the wine's prominent fruit intensity, where notes of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums gracefully intermingle with subtle hints of lavender and spice. The tannins are notable yet finely integrated, providing structure without overpowering the palate. As a well-crafted, dry red, this vintage from 2011 reflects the elegance and complexity characteristic of Dão wines, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own.

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.
