It is truly remarkable that a wine of this quality is available at this price. Mind you this is not a mass-produced wine from a low-lying flat expanse of vineyards easy to work and harvest by machine, rather its origins are in the Upper Douro, an extreme landscape of steep slopes and terraced vineyards in one of the most remote areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The passion behind this wine is founder and winemaker for the Quinta da Cassa, Rui Roboredo Madeira who, having honed his winemaking skills around the globe, returned to the land of his birth to work with the indigenous varieties and spectacular vineyards of the Douro. Here the combination of old vines and high altitudes give his wines balance, poise, and a sense of place. A blend of Tinta Roriz 40%, Touriga Franca 30%, Touriga Nacional 30%, this easy drinking wine exhibits aromas of red fruits and rose petal. Full-bodied with notes of juicy redcurrants and raspberries on the palate with a touch of spice on the finish. Incredibly versatile at the table, drink this with roasted meats or root vegetables, mushroom dishes, pizza, burgers, or a diverse charcuterie board rich with hard cheeses.
