Douro · Baixo Corgo
RedFullBy the bottle
A structured and elegant Douro red with intense aromas of wild berries, dried plums, eucalyptus and pine. Subtle spice adds complexity, while concentrated fruit, firm yet balanced tannins and a long finish create a powerful but refined expression of the region.

Origin · Douro · Baixo Corgo
Baixo Corgo, the westernmost and coolest sub-region of the Douro, sits closest to Porto with the highest rainfall in the valley. While historically prized for Port production, its schist soils and milder climate increasingly yield fresh, elegant still wines, offering more approachable, lighter-styled reds and whites.
