Tons de Duorum Red

Wine Description

Tons de Duorum is inspired by the bright colors that result from the reflection of the sun on the Douro River ("tons" means color nuance), creating different tones in the vineyards. This wine expresses the terroir of the fantastic Douro region, the result of a unique interaction between nature and human effort. Made from a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz sourced from the Castelo Melhor and Costodio vineyards.

Acclaim
“softly ripe, broad and fruity, full of bright red fruits as well as fresh acidity and gentile tannins. Just hinting at wood aging.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2014
“Medium-bodied, with strawberry and cherry flavors that show pepper accents. This has a supple spiciness, with a bright, juicy finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Jun 2014
