Vall Da Nogueirinha Tinto

Description

This little gem from Rui Rua Pinto, Vall da Nogueirinha, is a beautiful reminder of the elegance you find in the Douro. Built with classic Duriensis – Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca – it boasts a deep ruby colour, hinting at a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel and the polished tannins Marco Almeida Correia is so keen on. The careful winemaking, including full crushing and destemming on granite lagares, combined with the influence of new French oak, delivers a complexity rooted in the Douro’s distinctive landscape. Absolutely perfect with a hearty pork dish, like *porco à alentejana*.
