Nuno’s philosophy is in keeping with this. In his own words, his wines are “a pursuit for balance with the utmost respect for nature”.
Think of Doravante as an old-school claret, with lighter red fruit flavour and fresh pencil shaving mineral character. The blend is Baga and the better-known Touriga Nacional, fresh and elegant and long. So delicious and such an exciting region of Portugal.
Excellent served with strong dark meat and game dishes
