The Spanish-like 2019 Tinta Roriz feels like a modern, ripe and generously oaked Tempranillo from the Duero, a little like its relatives across the border. It has a varietal profile, with notes of berries and herbs and plenty of spice in a style that reminded me of the wines from the early 2000s. It’s full bodied and has abundant, slightly dusty tannins. This was still from the time of 100% new French oak barrels, and the wine spent 18 months in them. This is for fans of the oaky and ripe style that for me detracted from the nuances of the place and variety. 9,202 bottles, 250 magnums and 50 double magnums produced. It was bottled from March 2022.

Varietal

Tempranillo

There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.

Country

Portugal

Benefiting from both the hot, dry Iberian climate as well as brisk Atlantic winds, Portugal is a perfectly situated country for vineyard cultivation and wine production. With a wine making history which stretches back thousands of years, it comes as little surprise that wine plays an important role in the cultural identity and practices of the country. The Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the Romans all had a hand in forming Portugal as an important center for wine production, and over the millennia, this resulted in each region of this beautiful part of Europe producing its own distinctive wines easily identifiable and separate from neighboring Spain's. Today, the varied terroir and climate across Portugal allows a great range of wines to be made each year, from the fresh and dry Vinho Verde wines to the famous and widely drunk fortified Port wines, and many in between.

Region

Douro

The undisputed jewel in Portugal's crown is the beautiful wine region of Douro, located along the banks of the river from where it gets its name. The region itself is renowned around the world for its range of wonderfully aromatic fortified wines, as well as a wide variety of still red and white wines made from native grape varietals. Wineries in the Douro region utilize a huge amount of different local grapes for their characterful wines, but generally the most popular are made from Tinta Roriz, a rich and flavorful red wine grape related to Spain's flagship Tempranillo. However, there are plenty of different red and white grape varietals used in the region, all benefiting from the excellent hot weather and mineral rich terroir which characterizes the Douro valleys.

Wine Spectator

An elegant red despite its medium- to full-bodied weight and sculpted tannins. Shows a sense of equilibrium, with fresh focus to its appealing mulberry and black raspberry fruit, plus accents of violet, mountain herbs and dark chocolate. Minerally finish. Drink now through 2039. 790 cases made, 80 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Deep purple in color. The nose shows a perfect balance between aromas of fresh spice, gum cistus, and wild berry fruit. Balanced on the palate, evolving into a powerful wine that shows red berry fruit flavors, excellent volume, and firm, textured tannins. This is an engaging, food-friendly wine, with a fresh, lingering finish.
