WINE DESCRIPTION
This Quinta do Infantado Douro Tinto is a bold and earthy red wine from the Douro region of Portugal. The wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cao, which results in a deep, dark ruby color. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark fruits, spices, and cedar are evident. On the palate, flavors of rich blackberry and plum mingle with hints of spice and a hint of smokiness. The wine is well balanced, with tannins that are both firm and smooth, and a long and lingering finish. This wine is an excellent choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews.

ORIGINS
Winery: Quinta do Infantado
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
