Description
In a nutshell:
Fancy a taste of Portugal's wild side? This juicy red from the Douro Valley bursts with ripe fruit and a touch of spice.
The lowdown:
Rewilding Edition? That's because a portion of the proceeds goes to Rewilding Portugal, helping to promote biodiversity in the Greater Côa Valley wildlife conservation area - near the vineyards where this wine begins its journey. A blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca, the fruit comes from higher-altitude sites, bringing extra freshness and elegance. With just a short period of oak ageing, things are kept nicely vibrant and it's bursting with juicy raspberries and plums, with a hint of spice and silky tannins for balance. Youthful, bright, and effortlessly drinkable, it's a red that's easy on the palate and helpful to the environment.
The Producer:
The name behind theAltano label needs little introduction - Symington Family Estates, the Douro's powerhouse Port producer, launched it in 1999 as their first venture into table wines. They were among the first to champion Douro reds on the world stage, helping to establish the region as more than just a home for Port. The approach is simple: traditional grape varieties from their own vineyards, crafted into modern, approachable styles. Over the years, they've played a key role in making Douro wines a familiar sight on shelves, cementing the region's reputation for quality table wines.
When to drink:
A bright and fruity red like this is a doddle for a summery lunch - think charcuterie boards, salads with a bit of bite, or lighter grilled meats.
Suitable for Vegans
