Duorum Colheita (2021)

Duorum Vinhos is a Douro Valley project founded in 2007 by two of Portugal’s most celebrated oenologists, João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares Franco. Its name—Latin for “from two”—reflects the partnership and the fusion of their combined decades of winemaking experience. Centered in the Cima Corgo and Upper Douro, Duorum focuses on sustainably farmed, high‑altitude vineyards that yield elegant, terroir‑driven wines. The style blends tradition with modern precision, producing reds and ports that highlight the Douro’s depth, structure, and distinctive sense of place.

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, this wine comes from two different parcels of land in two different Douro sub-regions at two different altitudes. The grapes are carefully selected and fermented in stainless steel tanks before aging in oak barrels for approximately twelve months.

A richly aromatic wine of black cherries, tar, mocha, and a hint of violets. On the palate, this wine's rich texture is balanced perfectly against a zesty acidity, and rounded out by well integrated, fine-grained tannins. This wine begs for another sip as its mellifluous flavors develop well into the finish. Ths wine pairs perfectly with choice cuts of steak, pot roasts, and hearty casseroles like cassoulet.

Blend: 45% Touriga Nacional, 45% Touriga Franca, 10% Sousão
