Meãndro do Vale Meão Douro Red 2020

Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalMeãndro Red is a 50/35/10 touriga nacional, touriga franca, tinta roriz, with some infill of tinta barroca and alicante bouschet. It is all aged 14 months in used French oak, allowing its beguiling juicy character to run free. Look for a plush, soft, inviting red despite what could be a difficult growing season. Expect a rush of ripe red fruit with a strong mineral and savoury black pepper undercurrent. Drink or hold through 2030.Tasted: 13 October 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
