Country: Portugal / Douro
Variety: Portuguese Red
Winery: Quinta do Sagrado / VT ’08
This wine is a fine exposition of the structure and density of a serious Douro wine. A field blend, it is packed with dark berry fruits and sweet tannins, with a strong mineral element that reflects the tough schist of the vineyards. It’s drinkable now, but the wine will be better in 2016.
