Pathernos Reserva Tinto

Description

This Pathernos Reserva is a delightful introduction to the Douro – a region that respects its heritage while embracing contemporary winemaking. Crafted from vines dating back to the Quinta dos Gambozinos, it’s a beautiful blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, punctuated by a touch of Tinta Roriz. The nose reveals vibrant fruit aromas intertwined with a subtle spice, a clear echo of the schistous soils where it matured. On the palate, it's a remarkably smooth and persistent wine, thanks to 12 months aging in French oak, and a traditional vinification method incorporating foot treading – truly honouring those schistous stones. Ideal alongside a perfectly grilled beef dish or a robust, aged cheese.
