Quinta dos Quatro Ventos - A fascinating blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca.
This is one of Caves Aliança top flight wines from winemaker Francisco Atunes. Really impressive elegant wine with sumptuous plum and black fruit backed by firm tannins and classy but balanced oak.
Caves Aliança have long been one of Portugal's most significant producers. Owning 5 estates covering 600 hectares in Douro, Dao, Bairrada, Alentejo, and Beiras, their range of really impressive reds rival the very best in Portugal.
35 ha of spectacularly steep vineyards in the upper Douro valley supply the fruit for this delicious Quinta dos Quatro Ventos wine. Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca give positively Portuguese character to the wine.
Richly-fruited, there is real succulence here which sets off thoughts of a tasty meal of roast lamb.
