Description
Vallado Douro Red, Quinta do Vallado, Douro, Portugal, 2021
Grapes: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Sousão and old vineyards (field blend) with 70% aged or 16 months in stainless steel tanks and 30% aged in 225 litre used French Oak barrels (3rd and 4th use).
Rich, damson flavours, with a great structure. A modern take on a classic blend of Portuguese grapes, it is a rich, brambly wine.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"This ripe and juicy wine is a fine spicy blend. It has acidity and firm tannins that promise aging. The vivid black fruits need some calming. Drink this fine wine from 2025."
92/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, November 2023
"Deep purplish crimson. Extremely savoury, intriguing nose with floral notes and a claret-like build with great balance between fruit, acidity and quite a bit of ripe tannin. Tastes as though there is still lots to come. Dry finish but no shortage of interesting fruit. Real integrity here."
17/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, April 2024
Food Match: Venison, dried hams, or mature cheeses are perfect partners
