Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis simple, entry Douro red from the colossal Sogrape winery blends the classic Port wine red grapes touriga nacional, tinta roriz, tinta barroca, and touriga franca. Plump and brooding, with roasted meats, grilled plums, unripe blackberries on a tart, shorter palate, framed with pasty, soft tannins. Requires hearty grilled fare to mitigate.Tasted: 16 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalVila Regia sees no wood throughout the fermentation and ageing period. The blend is a classic mix of touriga nacional, tinta roriz, tinta barroca, and touriga franca. It is Euro dry with more red fruits than black, and plenty of balancing acidity. The palate is a cherry, leather, cedar affair, best served with grilled pork to break down the tannins and broaden the wine. Good value for money here if you are willing to explore a different style.Tasted: 02 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:
