Casa Ferreirinha 2022 Douro Red Blend: A Symphony of Flavors from Portugal’s Legendary Vineyard
Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the sun-drenched Douro Valley in Portugal—a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its rugged terrain and centuries-old winemaking heritage—this 2022 red blend from Casa Ferreirinha embodies the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship. A harmonious fusion of 30% Tinta Roriz, 30% Tinta Barroca, 25% Touriga Franca, and 15% Touriga Nacional, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the region, where steep slopes and schist soils impart unparalleled complexity.
Tasting Profile:
Indulge in a sensory journey with aromas of ripe plums, blackberries, and dark chocolate, layered with subtle hints of spices and wet earth. On the palate, expect a medium-to-full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that lingers into a long, elegant finish. Winemaker notes highlight its resinous balsamic undertones, cocoa-rich depth, and vibrant fruit character, making it equally suited for immediate enjoyment or cellaring.
