Red Blend

Made by The Symington Family

Douro, Portugal

If you’re a port drinker, you might recognize the name of this producer. The Symington family focuses on sustainable farming with minimal intervention and have been making port wines in the Douro for five generations. Not only do they currently own the largest collection of individual vineyards in Douro valley, they also own the largest organic vineyard in the Douro. In 1999, they began producing Douro wines from the same vineyards that have produced so many wonderful ports for the last 135 years. All of their wines are produced from traditional Portuguese varietals including Touriga Nacional and Touriga France. This full-bodied, red blend is a deep crimson color with floral aromas and tasting notes of fresh red fruit and spice. Pair this bold red with red meats including roast beef and grilled meats.
