Vinha Dos Santos Tinto

Description

This deep red boasts Douro DOC status – it’s more than just wine; it’s a tangible piece of Douro’s history. Passed down from a Cistercian monastery dating back to 1256, Quinta dos Frades is a testament to patience and traditional winemaking. The vines, nearly half over 90 years old, frame a stunning vista of the left bank, punctuated by cypress and orange trees. A consistently awarded wine, lauded as one of the region’s finest, it’s particularly delightful with grilled beef or a hearty bean and chorizo dish.
