Roquette & CazesDouro Valley, Portugal
Why you'll love it
A polished Douro blend (Touriga Nacional, Franca, Tinta Roriz) from a collaboration between Quinta do Crasto and Bordeaux's Cazes family. Handcrafted with Bordeaux techniques, aged 18 months in French oak—offers serious complexity and value.
Deep ruby with vibrant red berries, spice and elegant oak, finishing with smooth tannins and freshness.
Pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, game, rich stews or Italian dishes.
Best known in Douro, South Africa
A Douro red grape used in Port and still red wines. Soft and fleshy, with dark fruit and a gentle, rounded texture. It ripens early and adds roundness to blends, and South Africa makes some good Port-style wines from it.
Best known in Douro, Dão
Portugal's flagship red grape. Intense blackberry, violet and floral notes, with firm tannins and real concentration. It is key to Port and to many of the country's best dry reds, especially from the Douro and Dão.
Portugal
The dramatic, terraced, schist-scarped valley that produced the world's greatest fortified wine also makes increasingly impressive table wines. Port remains the glory; Douro reds from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz are proving themselves among Portugal's finest.
