The 2022 Coroa d’Ouro Tinto is a classic Douro red from Poças Júnior, a family‑run producer rooted in the historic Douro Valley, one of Portugal’s most distinguished wine regions. Made from a blend of traditional indigenous grape varieties that are also used in Port production, this wine reflects the region’s rich winemaking heritage and everyday drinkability.
Tasting Notes:
Ruby in colour with lively intensity, the wine shows clean, expressive aromas of ripe red and dark fruits such as blackberry and cherry, with enticing notes of mulled berries. The palate is smooth and aromatic, offering elegant fruit concentration without heavy tannins, and finishes with freshness and approachability.
Winemaking:
Crafted from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca, this wine is fermented under controlled temperatures with gentle maceration to extract vibrant fruit flavours. It is aged in stainless steel until bottling to preserve its freshness and clarity of expression.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted meats, lighter game, pizza, pasta dishes or medium‑intensity cheeses — versatile matches that highlight its fruit‑driven style and balanced structure.
ABV: 13%
