Warm, generous and full of Douro character, this red opens with ripe blackberries, dark plum and a touch of cherry compote, layered with hints of cocoa, baking spice and a subtle wild herb note. The palate is plush and rounded, with soft tannins and a velvety texture balanced by enough freshness to keep it lively. There’s a gentle richness here without tipping into heaviness, finishing smooth with a lingering dark fruit and spice echo. Portuguese wine in general is still a relative bargain in quality-to-price ratio overdelivery - give Contos da Terra a try to taste an excellent example of this!
