Quinto do Vallado, Douro (Portugal) 2019

Jun 21, 2022

By Michael Apstein

 This bold red, a blend of the usual grapes for making Port, Tinta Roriz (Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca) from vines that are 60 to 100 years old, is rich and luxurious.  Like Quinto do Vallado’s other red table wines, their Field Blend Reserva has a silky texture that enrobes its power and depth.  It has Port-like power without the sweetness.  As with their other red table wines, drink this with highly flavored grilled meats now or save them for the winter.
