Altano Douro Red 2013
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalFrom the Douro's legendary Symington Family (of Port wine fame), this is an easy entry to Douro table wines. Scrubby rock roses, cassis, wild blackberries, on a ripe, rough-edged, softly structured palate, this is a blend of touriga franca, tinta roriz and tinta barroca from the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. This was split between stainless steel vats and past-used 400 litre French and American oak barrels. Authentic but very rustic, pour this simple, solid red with lamb stew or burgers.Tasted: 26 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $15.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
