Portugal’s Douro is know for being the house of Port wines, however numerous nonetheless wines are additionally produced right here, together with this bottling, made on the estates of Port producer Quinta do Vesuvio. It’s blended from 4 Portuguese grapes: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca.
Wealthy with currants and plums, nearly raisiny at instances, the connection between this wine and Port are way more evident than I anticipated. That mentioned, it isn’t candy precisely, providing brightly fruity notes that provide components of strawberry and a contact of rhubarb earlier than ending on notes of candy tea and a slight caramelized berry word. Maybe on the candy aspect for some drinkers, however very a lot a strong wine at this worth.
