Notes from critics
We tasted over 80 Douro dry wines over the course of 2 weeks in Portugal, and the 2017 viintage of this wine was by far was the softest. It is not light, but a medium-bodied, elegant red wine that in many ways feels like a red Burgundy. In a recent tasting with Daniel Niepoort, we were able to evaluate the 2022, and it again delivered the goods. If we're having duck or pretty much anything else we like to pair with a bigger Pinot Noir, this is our go to. Dynamite! Again!

The 2022 Charme offers up floral aromas of roses, hibiscus flowers, cherries and raspberries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with silky, subtle tannins, red fruit character and a delicate finish. An almost ethereal wine that maintains depth and complexity. This is made from a blend of tinta roriz, touriga franca and others from old vineyards in Vale de Mendiz. Fermented with 100% whole clusters in lagars. Aged for around 18 months in French oak. Already gorgeous but will definitely evolve favorably. Drink or hold.
