Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande Red 2019
From Casa Ferreirinha in the Douro Valley, Portugal, the Vinha Grande Red 2019 is a refined blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinta Roriz, and 5% Tinta Barroca. Sourced from Cima Corgo and Douro Superior vineyards with schist and clay soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 12 months in French and American oak barrels, offering a ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
