About this product
From the ancient Douro Superior estate — a blend of all five classic Douro varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Roriz, fermented in traditional granite lagares. Remarkable concentration and complexity from extreme schist soils and decades-old vines. Blackberry, graphite, violet, cedar, leather, and dried herbs with a structural power that ages for 20+ years. One of the Douro's defining benchmark wines.
Pairing intelligence
complement
Portugal's most celebrated festive dish with its most prestigious dry wine — the wine's massive structure and dark complexity support the richness of suckling pig. A pairing of national significance.
classic
main
complement
The Douro's mountain game and its greatest red — wild boar's gaminess and richness are matched by the wine's density and dark fruit. Chestnuts bridge to its earthy depth, dried fruit echoes its complexity.

elevate
Port reduction bridges the wine to truffle — the wine's schist mineral depth elevates the earthy truffle, aged Parmigiano adds complexity, and the two wines complement each other through the food.
adventurous
main
complement
The wine's massive structure and dried fruit complexity is balanced by dense aged cheese. Membrillo echoes its dark fruit while almonds bridge its mineral depth.
