61 - Roquette & Cazes Douro Red - Douro, Portugal

Grape Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz

Wine Description: This collaboration between Portugal's Quinta do Crasto and Bordeaux's Château Lynch-Bages combines Douro intensity with French refinement. Sourced from steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River, the wine captures the richness and structure of Portugal's indigenous varietals while maintaining balance and elegance through careful vinification and oak aging.

Flavour Profile: Aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry are accented by floral notes, spice and subtle oak. The palate is rich yet polished, offering layers of black fruit, cocoa and savory herbs framed by fine tannins. Fresh acidity brings lift to the long, harmonious finish.

Suggested Food Pairings: Pair with roasted meats, braised beef, game dishes or hard cheeses.

Serving & Cellaring:
Serve at 16-18 °C. Drink now or cellar 6-10 years.
