Legado Douro Tinto 2018

Rich 2018 Douro Tinto with Bold Flavors and Depth

Legado Douro Tinto 2018 is a premium red wine that pays homage to the enduring winemaking traditions of Portugal’s Douro Valley. Crafted from over 25 ancestral grape varieties planted in pre-phylloxera vineyards, this wine stands as a testament to the region’s rich heritage. The 2018 vintage is celebrated for its complexity, offering a bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberries and black plums, intertwined with layers of spices, balsamic, and a subtle hint of cedar. On the palate, the wine is bold and well-structured, with rich fruit flavors supported by velvety tannins and a long, intricate finish.

The production process of Legado Douro Tinto is steeped in tradition. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested from century-old vines planted on small terraces in the Douro Valley, which have a low production density. This ensures each grape is of the highest quality. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged for two years in French oak barrels, allowing it to develop complexity and depth.

Legado is produced by Sogrape Vinhos, a historic winery founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes. Known for its dedication to sustainability and innovation, the winery continues to be led by the third generation of the founding family, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Douro Valley.

The 2018 Legado Douro Tinto has received widespread acclaim, earning 93 points on Wine-Searcher for its exceptional balance and complexity. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a variety of robust dishes, including red meats like beef and lamb, as well as game meats such as venison.
