Wine from Douro

Douro is a wine producing region in Portugal that sits close to the Douro River. Since the region sits above Porto, it is at times called “upper Douro”, or Alto Douro. The region boasts of the best quality wines according to Portugal’s DOC. The Douro region is typically used to craft Port wines, but it also produces non-fortified wines as well. These wines are called by the name of the region. This lush region is said to be used ever since the 3rd century, although evidence may indicate that the region was used for winemaking long before that. The Douro region’s vineyards grew during the 1700’s and soon after, Port wine from the region became its signature product. Due to Port lodges built by the British, the port wine from the Douro region because the most popular in the region. Soon, the area was the world’s first region to boast of its own demarcation. Disease ravaged the grape vines during the 19th century, and the region was attacked with mildew and then phylloxera. Although the region has been long recognized for its port wines, table wines are also growing in popularity in the region. In 2001, the region was labeled as a World Heritage Site.

Review:

The NV 20 Year Port is based on Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão and was aged 20 years in French oak casks. It's more complex and nuanced, with beautiful white raisin, white chocolate, ripe cherries, caramelized fig, and smoky tobacco nuances. Beautifully balanced and medium to full-bodied, it has a layered mouthfeel, a ripe tannic structure, and one heck of a great finish.
