Symington Family Estates Altano Douro 2020

"A peculiar wine that combines complexity, structure and an intense covered cherry red color. Elegant, fresh and complex nose where ripe fruits and floral notes are appreciated. Pleasant and fresh entry on the palate, balanced and with sweet tannins, although youthful, unctuous and enveloping, with an original and interesting mid palate and a long finish." —winemaker

"Medium garnet hue. Bold aromas of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla frame a ripe and black fruit core. Round, forward fruit quickly combines with stout and forward tannins for a full, toasty body that leads to a long, savory, and satisfying finish." —winemaker

"Silk & Spice is a tribute to the spirit of adventure shown by the Portuguese navigators who explored the globe in the 15th century and discovered the commercial silk and spice routes. Silk Route celebrates its namesake and is a smooth, ruby-colored red wine with aromas of red fruit, white chocolate and vanilla. Thanks to the art of blending wines, the native grape varieties and Portugal's unique terroir, this wine has a finish that is both silky and smooth." —winemaker

"Spice Road is an intense red wine that highlights the most important spices traded during the Portuguese voyages of discovery, which are now found all around the world. This blended red, which is an opaque ruby color, has intense aromas of well-ripened black fruit and notes of dark chocolate and spices." —winemaker

"This elegant wine demonstrates beautiful aromas of rich blueberry, black currant, raisin and fruitcake notes. The full-bodied wine displays deep forest fruits, subtle mocha, chocolate and licorice notes complemented by sweet Oak flavors captured by silky tannins." —winemaker

"This easy drinking red wine is a modern expression of the spices discovered on the 'Spice Route' by Portuguese explorers in 1498. These explores opened up the Western world to exciting new flavors such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. The wine has extraordinary, rich flavors born of Portugal’s indigenous grapes and unique terrain. Intense, deep ruby color, with a bright red rim. The predominant flavors are ripe, cooked black fruits. Sweet notes of vanilla and hints of mocha. The first impression in the mouth is rich and full. Excellent balance of tannins and acidity, with a long, smooth finish." —winemaker
