WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
An unoaked blend of five of the Douro’s principal grapes – Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Roriz (tempranillo). A fresh, food-friendly wine with lots of minerality, and notes of wild berries, damsons and plums. Good ageing potential. With an intense ruby color, Flor de Tecedeiras has nuances of woodland fruit – hints of blackberries, blueberries and plum in the mouth. The wine is expressive and full-bodied, with solid tannins; the floral component remains dominant, but now accompanied by delicate notes of black fruit, vanilla and a certain minerality. The end is long and persistent. Still young, this wine has capacity to age well for a number of years. A great partner for grilled or BBQ meats and all sorts of cheeses. Flor’s fruit-forward profile also makes it ideal for more casual foods – pizza, pasta, etc.
