Bom Malandro Tinto

Description

The Bom Malandro red is crafted from the noble Douro grape varieties grown on the Symington family vineyards in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior sub‑regions, at elevations above 400 m. After a period of ageing in stainless‑steel tanks and used French oak barrels, this classic blend offers a captivating bouquet of red fruit, with prominent cherry notes and a hint of strawberry, accented by floral nuances of honeysuckle and forest musk. On the palate it is full‑bodied and velvety, delivering flavours of black plum and a subtle touch of pepper, while its finely balanced structure marries round tannins with a remarkable freshness, lifted by bright acidity that gives clarity and harmony. Bom Malandro is a wine brand built in reverse – instead of starting from grape varieties, estates, or terroir, it began with its name and characters to craft its story. Here the protagonist is the squirrel, who makes the Douro its home. (illustrative image only)
