About the wine
Saving his family legacy meant Oscar could make you this top-quality wine full of heart
- Oscar's brand new wine is something really rather special. It comes from a 60 year old vineyard planted by his grandparents on the family's historic Douro Valley land. It's a hugely important place for Oscar, who with his sister, fought to save these vines from being dug up and replaced with higher yielding, profitable fruit.
- Intervening as little as possible, Oscar has captured the fantastic intensity of the fruit (proving good things do come in small packages) and the character of the high-altitude vineyard, paying tribute to his grandparents.
- The palate is smooth and fruit forward, pure and silky, offering up that characteristic Douro bite with perfectly balanced acidity. The finish is pure, clean as a whistle and has a triumphantly long and elegant finish complete with lingering floral flavours, fresh berries and some spice to tickle the tongue.
Best before
This is a wine that can easily mature for 5+ years in the bottle.
Serving advice
If you open it now, you can pour the wine in the decanter just to give it some air. It will help to open up the aromas. If you decide to keep it in your cellar for a few years, it will throw sediments, so it will be a good idea to decant before serving
Food match
Portuguese duck rice. The duck rice is tasteful but still respects the delicate aromas that we have in our wine. When finishing the cooking in the oven, the rice takes those roasted notes that we can find in the wine due to the ageing in oak.
