Textura 'Pretexto' Dao Tinto 2021

A structured and expressive red from Portugal’s Dão region, blending native varieties such as Jaen, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, and Touriga Nacional. It opens with aromas of red and dark berries—cherry, plum, and blackberry—layered with dried herbs, peppery spice, and a subtle earthy, granite-tinged character.

Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a firm but polished tannic frame, it shows juicy fruit balanced by savoury notes of forest floor, spice, and a touch of graphite, reflecting both the blend and the region’s cool, high-altitude terroir. The overall impression is vibrant, structured, and quietly complex.
