Duorum Colheita Douro 2019

Description

Duorum is the result of a collaboration between two of the most renowned winemakers in Portugal; João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares, the winemaker famed for Portugal's iconic Barca Velha red 'The Latour of Portugal'.

The grapes were de-stemmed and gently crushed in stainless steel lagares (troughs) by robotized treading. The wine was then aged in 225 and 300 litres French oak barrels for 12 months (30% new oak barrels and 70% second and third year barrels).

Combining power and elegance, this Douro red has succulent dark-berried fruit and fine, dusty tannins.  Duorum is a wine with great structure, balance and depth of fruit. It is big on flavour but not in anyway overpowering. Very classy red.
