Dao 50% Touriga Nacional, 50% Alfrocheiro

The fruit intensity is medium to prominent, with luscious notes that evoke the warmth of the sun-drenched vineyards where these grapes were nurtured. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure to each sip, while the dryness on the finish leaves a satisfying impression of the rustic charm of Dao wines. The Caminhos Cruzados Reserva is a true reflection of the winemaking excellence found in this captivating region.

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.
