WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta do Vale Meão Douro Tinto is an elegant and complex red blend from Portugal's Douro Valley. The wine is a blend of mainly Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Roriz, aged in French oak barrels. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and violet mingle with subtle hints of spice and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a core of rich, concentrated fruit surrounded by a velvety texture and firm tannins. Notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and dried herbs linger on the long, flavorful finish. Enjoy with robust dishes such as grilled steak or venison.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta do Vale Meão

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.
