The wine region of Porto
One of the world's oldest fortified wines: fortified with grape spirit during fermentation, keeping its residual sugars. Opulent style, long on the palate, notes of candied black fruits, cocoa, fig, walnut, coffee and spices. Four styles: young fruity Ruby (cherry, blackberry), Tawny aged oxidatively in cask (caramel, hazelnut, bitter orange), age-worthy LBV and Vintage, White as aperitif. Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz.
The wine region of Duriense
Portuguese IGP covering the Douro and Porto area (northeast), schist soils on vertiginous terraced slopes, dry continental climate, flexible status outside DOC. Touriga Nacional signature as red king (300+ authorised varieties): intense and floral with blackberry, black cherry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and mineral schist hint, firm tannins — noble Douro emblem. Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
