Filipe Ferreira, Douro DOC (Portugal) 2018

Nov 9, 2021

By Miranda Franco

 Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz provide the foundation for this Portuguese blend (60% Touriga Nacional, 25% Tinta Roriz, and 15% Touriga Franca), with its deep color, vibrant acid structure, and ample tannins.  At the same time, the slightly lighter, fragrant Touriga Franca brings an intense perfume of fresh, ripe red fruits, dried spices, and flowers.  On the palate, the wine boasts loads of deep, dark juicy fruit beautifully interlaced with spice.  A special delight is a long-lasting finish.  A Mary Taylor Selection.
