Baronesa de Vilar
Reserva Douro Red Blend
Douro, Portugal
Ah, the "Baronesa de Vilar Reserva Douro Red Blend," a splendid tribute to the enchanting Douro Valley of Portugal, unfurling beneath the nurturing sun and rugged terroir. One savors the deep, ruby-red elixir, where ripe black fruits entwine with whispers of vanilla and subtle spice—like a sultry tango between plum and cinnamon with a cheeky touch of oak.
The producer, the illustrious D. Ferreira, has roots tracing back to 1751, blending a storied past with the art of winemaking. Their devotion is akin to a Shakespearean romance—filled with drama and rustic allure.
Among its noble ingredients, you’ll find Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional; a veritable duo captivating the palate. Fun fact: Tinta Roriz, or Tempranillo, is not one to be trifled with—it’s as versatile as a thesbian on opening night.
Pair this beauty with lamb shanks or a rich mushroom risotto; the umami harmonizes splendidly, like a velvet glove on a glistening hand. Rated a polished 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, let this morsel of joy roll upon your tongue, but be careful—too much may leave you reclining dramatically, proclaiming “what a departure!”
