Medium Red Wines

A red and white blend of native Portuguese grapes done in a lighter style that can shine with a slight chill. 15% white grapes (mostly Malvasia Fina) along with the red-berried Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca varieties. Macerated for 10 days before aging in steel tanks and bottled unfiltered and unfined. A very different kind of Douro and decidedly delicious, with bright notes of plum, blackcurrant, eucalyptus, rhubarb and caraway.

Mateus Nicolau de Almeida comes from a clan of winegrowers, making wines from several regions of Portugal under a few different labels but always committed to organic viticulture, even embracing biodynamic practices in many of the vineyards. Believers in terroir the wines are native fermented and bottled with additives save a tiny tiny sulfites.

Staff Reviews:

"The perfect House Red! A naturally produced blend of Portuguese grapes done in a much lighter style than expected. Delicious, bright, and full of dark fruits."
