Tasting Notes

The Vale D. Maria Douro Superior has a brilliant and lively ruby ​​color. The typical red fruits of the Superior Douro are incredibly present on the nose, where the aromas of blackberries, strawberries and black cherries stand out, making this wine very complex and intense. The vanilla notes combine perfectly to enhance the velvety texture of this wine which slowly ends with a long and deeply fresh finish. 

Food Pairing

Ideal to accompany meat dishes, or roast cod in the oven.
