About the wine
Happiness in a glass, direct from the Douro Valley
- 2020 was a very difficult year for Douro's viticulture. The challenge for Oscar was to be able to pick the grapes at the perfect ripeness. He visited the vineyard every other day to taste the berries to ensure the right timing. Now he can say all those visits were absolutely worth it!
- A deep and intense ruby-colored wine, ripe yet elegant with a fresh profile provided by the Touriga Franca grapes, and a nice structural, full-bodied character from the Touriga Nacional.
- The finish lingers on spicy, dark fruit and dark chocolate notes. Oscar has truly struck the perfect balance here, producing a bottle of what he calls 'happiness in a glass' direct from the Douro Valley.

Decanting and aerating is always a good idea with this wine. Serve at 15-16ºC.
