Description

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva is a captivating red wine hailing from the prestigious Douro Valley in Portugal. Feuerheerd's, a historic winery with roots dating back to the 19th century, has earned a reputation for crafting exceptional wines that beautifully express the terroir of this remarkable region. This Reserva is a testament to their dedication and expertise. The Anchor Wine name is a reference to the long boat trips through the ocean, when Douro region wines where brought to England. This is why the Feuerheerd's uses the anchor symbol in its wines. The 2021 vintage is a blend of traditional Douro grape varietals, primarily Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. These grapes are carefully selected from the winery's finest vineyards, where they benefit from the region's unique schist soils and warm, dry climate. This leads to concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. Aged in wood, this process imparts subtle notes of vanilla and spice, adding depth and complexity to the wine's already impressive profile. On the palate, Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva showcases a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. It's a medium-bodied wine with flavors of ripe dark berries, such as black cherry and plum, interwoven with hints of spice and a touch of oak. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a pleasant structure and a lingering finish. This wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its elegant structure and balanced flavors make it an excellent complement to grilled meats, roasted poultry, and hearty stews. It also pairs well with aged cheeses and charcuterie. Try it with Korean BBQ, braised short ribs (Galbi Jjim), or a flavorful mushroom stew (Beoseot Jeongol) to highlight its savory notes. If you're seeking a red wine that embodies the richness and elegance of the Douro Valley, Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva is an outstanding choice. Its impeccable craftsmanship, complex flavors, and food-friendly character make it a wine to savor and enjoy on any occasion. The vintage is a great representation of the Douro region, known for its terroir, capable of producing bold red wines with aging potential.
