ALTANO RED — The Wines

Naturally elegant

Deep, crimson colour. This Altano red reveals scented floral aromas and focused, fresh fruit. Simultaneously full and silky on the palate, well-defined red fruit flavours come to the fore, enveloped in soft, ripe tannins and spicy notes. Generous, well-structured and elegant.

Ready for immediate consumption, although the wine has the potential to continue developing favourably for up to 4 years.

TEMPERATURE

Serve between 14º and 17ºC.

GRAPE VARIETIES

Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca

WINEMAKERS

Charles Symington and Pedro Correia,
assisted by the Symington DOC Douro
winemaking team.

Wild plum and berry flavours are concentrated and well rounded in this balanced, fresh-tasting red, which shows hints of chocolate on the finish.

Wine Spectator,
February 2012

Port producers Symington's table wine, based on Tinta Roriz, improves with every vintage. Sweet blackberry fruit laced with pepper and spice. Fine, dry texture. Even quite elegant.

Jancis Robinson in Financial Times,
December 2009

A forward, fruity wine that shows ripe black-currant fruit. It does have the stricture that comes from the tough soils of the Douro, but this is balanced by the acidity, juicy fruitiness and ripe tannins.
