Allow me to introduce you to a taste of Portugal's rich winemaking heritage – the Douro Royal Court Red Wine from Borges Monte Alto. This wine hails from the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and exceptional wines. Borges, with its deep roots in the region, embodies the spirit of Douro winemaking, blending tradition with innovation.
Imagine the rugged terraces of the Douro Valley, where vineyards cling to the steep slopes overlooking the majestic Douro River. It is in this unique setting that the grapes for Royal Court Red Wine are cultivated. The blend is composed by the local grapes from the region which result in a wine that embodies the essence of the region.
This wine is a deep ruby in color. On the nose, you'll find aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of earth and spice. It offers a balanced structure with soft tannins and a pleasant finish. It is bottled in the standard bottle type. It is best served around 16 degrees with a recommended rest time of 15 minutes.
The Royal Court Red Wine is a versatile companion for a variety of dishes. Its fruity character and smooth texture make it a wonderful match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces. It pairs beautifully with traditional Portuguese cuisine, such as grilled sardines or hearty stews.
I would say that this wine is an invitation to explore the captivating flavors of the Douro Valley. It is a testament to the passion and dedication of Borges Monte Alto, a winery committed to preserving the region's winemaking legacy. I recommend that you take a sip, indulge and let this wine transport you to the sun-drenched slopes of Portugal's most iconic wine region.
