Messias Douro Vinha De Santa Bárbara Tinto

Description

This Messias Vinha de Santa Bárbara is a no-nonsense statement from the Douro – straight to the point. The spontaneous fermentation and extended maceration really highlight the rustic character of the Francesas and Nacionais grapes, producing a wine with a frankly impressive intensity. As noted by *Revista de Vinhos*, the floral notes indicate a meticulous integration within the French oak barrels, though those powerful tannins, with hints of bitter cocoa, undeniably showcase the region’s signature strength. It finishes long and juicy, with mineral notes, and would pair beautifully with a hearty beef roast, wouldn’t you agree?
