Barao da Varzea do Douro Colheita Tinto
The local grapes – Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz – grow in fine soils with some schist in vineyards near Cambres, in the western part of the Douro valley and south of the river. The climate here is warm and dry, and some of the vines are over 50 years old. After harvesting fermentation takes place in stainless steel, with a small portion (around 10%) ageing for 4 months in 2nd year French oak barrels, before the final blending and bottling.
Producer Profile
Barão da Várzea do Douro is a new wine brand created by the Lencastre family, descendants of Antão Garcês Pinto de Madureira, first awarded the title of Baron of Várzea do Douro by Queen D. Maria II on July 16, 1846. Along the right bank of the Douro River, in the sub-region of Baixo Corgo, we found the ideal terroir for the production of wines that express all the personality of the Douro based on the most typical grape varieties of the region such as Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Arinto, Viosinho, Rabigato or Gouveio.
