WINE DESCRIPTION
Broadbent Tinto is a red wine produced by the renowned wine expert Michael Broadbent. The wine is made in the Douro Valley appellation of Portugal, which is known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The grapes used to make this wine are grown on old vines, which produce low yields of intensely flavored fruit. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including foot treading and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. Broadbent Tinto is a classic example of the high-quality red wines that Portugal has to offer.

ORIGINS
Winery: Broadbent
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
