Altano 2008 Douro, Portugal

Bin Number: 085841
More than 5 cases / 60 bottles in stock

Made from traditional port grape varieties and vinified in a modern style.

Modern vinification produces a supple, juicy red wine with true Douro character that’s easy-drinking and versatile with food. The 'Scops' owl featured on the front label is commonly seen in the region of production.

In the press:

"This is a really good introduction to the red wines of Portugal's wonderful Douro region. It has cherry and berry fruit with a bit of spiciness on the finish. Perfect for sipping alfresco.
Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, 6 June 2010 (2007 vintage)

    Port producers Symingtons' table wine, based on Tinto Roriz (Tempranillo) improves with every vintage. Sweet blackberry fruit laced with pepper and spice. Fine, dry texture. Even quite elegant. Jancis Robinson, Financial Times, 4 December 2009 (2007 vintage)
