Vallado Douro D.O.C.

2007 Douro Touriga Franca, Tempranillo

Vallado Vallado Douro D.O.C. from the esteemed Douro region showcases a captivating blend of Touriga Franca and Tempranillo, presenting a deep garnet hue that hints at its maturity. The wine greets the palate with a medium-bodied profile, beautifully balanced by a pronounced acidity that lends it a refreshing vibrancy. With its fruit intensity shining through, expect delightful notes of ripe dark fruits complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. A dry character further accentuates its elegance, making it a wonderful choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. This 2007 vintage exemplifies the remarkable craftsmanship and rich terroir of the Douro winegrowing 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.
