If you’re a fan of sumptuous Portuguese reds, then Vilarissa Valley is a must-taste. Crafted by the legendary Van Zeller family at one of Portugal’s oldest estates, it’s rich, smooth and bursting with red fruits. Beautifully expressive and full of character, it’s yours today at a great price.
Originally conceived in celebration of the Van Zellers’ 400th vintage (and whopping 15 generations of fine wine production), the wine stars Touriga Nacional from the family’s well-situated vineyards in the Alto Douro Vinhateiro.
With its terraced, steep slopes, the inland district is warmer and drier than the rest of the Douro, which helps grapes grown here develop richer, more complex flavors. It also demands that vines be hand-harvested—a painstaking process that helps ensure top quality.
Aged in fine oak for extra depth and complexity, this red is luxuriously expressive, with spicy red-fruit flavors. Order your share today.
