The 2023 VZ Tinto is an approachable and tender blend of grapes from different vineyards. It was produced in an approachable way while keeping the Douro character and is nicely crafted, with balance and freshness and not lacking power. It’s not shy at 15.3% alcohol, but you don’t feel it; the wine comes through as harmonious and fine, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins with a fine, powdery granularity. 22,410 bottles and 302 magnums produced. It was bottled in December 2025.

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.

James Suckling

Rich cherry compote, figs, a touch of prunes and violet. More ripeness this year, verging on jammy fruit. Compact, with medium- to full-bodied and tight-wound dusty tannins. Solid length here. Drink now–2029.
