Product Highlights
Vicente Faria’s Gloria Red Wine embodies the essence of Portugal’s iconic Douro Valley, offering an exquisite balance of bold character and approachable elegance. Crafted from a meticulous blend of 40% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), 30% Touriga Franca (French Touriga), and 30% Touriga Nacional grapes harvested in 2016, this wine delivers a sensory journey perfect for wine enthusiasts seeking complexity without compromise.

Flavor & Aroma Profile
With vibrant notes of ripe blackberry and cherry upfront, Gloria unfolds into layers of dark plum and subtle spice from its carefully selected Douro grapes. Its velvety texture is framed by polished tannins that provide structure without overpowering—making it both rich enough for bold flavor profiles and smooth enough to enjoy effortlessly on its own or paired with meals.
