Description

Vallado Organic Quinta do Orgal Douro Superior, Portugal, 2018

Grapes: Mostly Touriga Nacional plus Touriga Franca and Sousão, certified organic vineyards at Quinta do Orgal, aged 16 months in used French Oak barrels

A surprising wine, of vivid colour, with intense aromas. Exuberant and mysterious, it combines the typical floral aromas of Touriga Nacional with hints of exotic fruits. Great quality tannins, intense and silky. It delivers a fresh and citric after-taste, with presence of wild fruits. (Winemakers: Francisco Olazabal & Francisco Ferreira).

Critic's Tasting Note:

"A rich blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão, this wine is impressively complex with dense tannins and dark black fruits jostling into place. The wood aging lends a smooth texture and it will be ready to enjoy from 2022."

92/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, March 2021

The previous four vintages, reviewed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast, have all received 90-94/100 points by all three publications/websites. Consistent and excellent quality wine that's suitable for ageing.

Food Pairing: Try Vallado's organic red with "Chanfana", a Portuguese stew comprised of roasted goat, bacon, vegetables seasoned with paprika, bay leaves and black pepper.
