🌿 Bold, Perfumed, and Powerfully Elegant Douro Red
From the hands of one of Portugal’s most respected winemaking families, the Caldas Reserva showcases Touriga Nacional in its purest and most expressive form—floral, structured, and unmistakably Douro.

🍷 In the Glass
Deep violet-ruby with brilliant intensity—bold and alluring.

👃 On the Nose
Captivating aromas of violets, blackberry, cassis, and dark plum, intertwined with notes of eucalyptus, sweet spice, and a subtle smoky edge.

🥂 On the Palate
Full-bodied and concentrated, yet refined. Silky layers of ripe black fruit, liquorice, and cocoa are supported by firm, well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long, elegant, and scented with dark florals and spice.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted lamb, grilled Iberian pork, duck breast, or hearty mushroom dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Beautiful now with decanting, but will reward cellaring over 8–12 years with further complexity and polish.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
Caldas Reserva is a masterclass in varietal Touriga Nacional—bold yet balanced, floral yet intense. A truly expressive wine that reflects the richness of the Douro and the precision of Alves de Sousa’s craft.
