Tasting Note

Intense ruby-red colour. Forest floor aromas with eucalyptus and resin notes ending with a hint of peppers. On the palate, full yet supple red fruit flavours are lifted by the polished tannins that give the wine great structure and balance. The rich, ripe fruit is pure and focused with a taut edge, suggesting good ageing potential.

Product Notes

Symington Family Estates Altano Douro Reserva Red is an exquisite blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca grapes, grown in the world-renowned Douro Valley of Portugal. The wine exudes a deep and intense ruby-red hue and a complex aroma of black fruits, plum, and spices. On the palate, the wine offers layers of luscious fruity flavors accompanied by sturdy tannins, creating a well-balanced and supple mouthfeel. Altano Douro Reserva Red is aged for 12 months in oak casks, which imparts a distinct smoothness and a silky finish to the wine. Best served slightly chilled, this wine is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, mature cheeses, and hearty stews.
