Grifo Douro is a bold red blend from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Aged in oak, it delivers deep color, solid structure, and bright acidity. Aromas and flavors center on dark fruit (blackberry, plum) with cocoa, coffee, and spice notes. The finish is long and balanced, with hints of leather and tobacco. Pair with grilled meats, charcuterie, and aged cheeses. Best served around 16-18°C.
