Description
In a nutshell:
If you like your reds rich, smooth and brimming with dark fruit and spice, then this Portuguese blend delivers serious value.
The lowdown:
A blend of red grapes from the rugged Douro Valley, this offers a compelling mix of freshness and depth. Ripe cherry and plum notes mingle with a hint of wild herbs and dried earth. The high-altitude vineyards lend acidity to balance the sweet fruit. A touch of oak ageing adds a subtle suggestion of spice and structure. Overall, this is a classic, warming red that speaks of its origins in this unique landscape - a balanced and satisfying wine.
The Producer:
Symington Family Estates may be synonymous with Port, but their Quinta do Ataíde project reveals another side to the Douro Valley. Here, the focus is squarely on crafting distinctive still wines from organically farmed vineyards. Located in the cooler Vilariça Valley, these wines offer a refreshing take on classic Douro varieties. Think Touriga Nacional with vibrant fruit, ripe yet elegant tannins, and a sense of place that's distinct from their fortified cousins. Ataíde represents a commitment to showcasing the Douro's compelling versatility and the Symington family's unwavering dedication to quality.
When to drink:
This big, herby red's a treat when you've got a hearty beef stew bubbling on the stove, or a platter of strong cheeses on the table.
