Description

Crafted from vineyards nestled in the schist soils of the Douro region, the Porrais Signature 2020 is a testament to the harmonious blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, and Tinta Barroca grapes. This meticulously cultivated combination gives rise to a wine of exceptional depth and character. The wine's profile is marked by an intense aromatic expression of ripe red fruits and carefully selected spices. After a 9 months aging period in oak barrels, the wine reveals a delicate oaky note, which adds to the complexity and elegance.

On the palate, the Porrais Signature presents a balanced structure, underpinned by smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. The layers of flavour unfold gradually, starting with a burst of fresh red berries, moving into a warm, spicy heart, and finishing with an earthy undertone that lingers long after the last sip. Its well-integrated oak influence lends a subtle hint of vanilla and toast, further enhancing the wine's overall richness.

The Porrais Signature is a versatile food pairing wine, ideally suited to accompany a range of dishes. Its structure and flavour profile make it an excellent match for grilled meats, such as lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and game dishes. The wine's spice notes complement North African or Middle Eastern cuisines, while its fruitiness makes it a good partner for mature cheeses. Serve it at a temperature of 16°C to best appreciate its full potential.

The winery, Sociedade Agrícola Quinta de Porrais, located in the heart of the Douro Valley, is dedicated to producing exceptional wines that express the unique terroir of the region. With a commitment to sustainable practices and a meticulous approach to winemaking, Quinta de Porrais captures the essence of the Douro, from the sun-drenched vineyards to the rich cultural heritage. This is a wine which deserves to be uncorked and which will turn a simple meal in an unforgettable experience.
