A vibrant, terroir-driven red from Portugal’s rugged Douro Valley — Xisto Ilimitado blends several traditional varieties to give a snapshot of these exceptional vineyards. Vineyards are located in Cima Corgo. This is a subregion that experiences extreme highs and lows from a temperature standpoint, allowing the fruit to ripen beautifully. Expect bright garnet color with lifted aromas of red and blue berries, violet florals, and a hint of wet stone. On the palate it’s fresh yet generous: juicy cherry and pomegranate fruit balanced by lively acidity, with touches of white pepper, slate-minerality and herbal spice. Gentle tannins make it versatile — delicious with roast game, herby poultry, ratatouille, or tomato-based dishes. A lovely introduction to modern Douro wines: expressive, mineral-edged and food-friendly without heaviness.
