Quinta da Romaneira 2014 Touriga Franca-Syrah Red (Duriense)

Country: Portugal / Touriga Franca-Syrah
Variety: Portuguese Red Duriense
Winery: Quinta da Romaneira /

This is one in a series of wines that blends Syrah with a major Douro grape, The wine has a severe, austere character, as much structure as fruit. Wood aging has helped to soften the wine and give density. It needs more time, so drink from 2019.
