Altano Douro Tinto 2021

It is undeniably true that in recent years the picturesque Douro Valley in Portugal has become one of the most exciting destinations for travellers and red wine lovers who've been blown away by the great value on show throughout Portugal's most iconic wine region. Along with holiday makers and wine aficionados in recent times the Altano Douro Tinto has left a lasting impression on some of the biggest Wine Magazine's (Decanter & Wine Spectator)  who love the ravishingly juicy palate and the silkiness and lushness which are hallmarks of Douro Valley Reds. 

''A lush and silky style, these red offers concentrated flavours of raspberry tart, dark cherry and boysenberry, accented by notes of chocolate. The silky finish lingers with rich mocha details.'' Wine Spectator Magazine 

''Impactful nose of forest fruit, dark chocolate and mocha, with ravishingly juicy fruit on the palate underpinned by a racy freshness to fuel and alluringly persistent finish.'' Decanter Magazine 

''The Douro Valley is the home of value-driven quality wines, that are relatively undiscovered.'' Lauren Mowery, Forbes.com

As for me I'm charmed by the scented floral aromas and focused, fresh fruit, reflecting a very good year. Simultaneously full and silky on the palate, well defined red fruit flavours come to the fore, enveloped in soft, ripe tannins and spicy notes. Generous, well-structured and elegant. Made from Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca.
