Tinta Barroca

About this grape variety

An early-ripening Douro red whose contribution to traditional Port and Douro DOC blends is structure, dark colour and a soft, round palate. Tinta Barroca thrives at lower altitudes and warmer slopes, where it accumulates sugar quickly, producing rich, plummy wines that complement the more aromatic Touriga Nacional and the structured Touriga Franca. As varietal bottlings it is rare; its role is as a reliable partner in lots that benefit from its volume and approachability.
