A juicy and delicious Portuguese red wine blend with aromas of fleshy black plum and blackberries. Full-bodied and fairly smooth. The grapes are grown in the Douro Valley in the northeast of Portugal. The wine was aged in oak barrels.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

From Portugal's spectacular and historic Douro Valley, a World Heritage Site, this red blend is a brilliant example of Douro winemaking skill. Dark garnet red with dark plummy fruit, herbal and savoury notes on nose. A very satiny palate shows layers of ripe dark fruit, vanilla, savoury herbs and salinity with mouth-watering acidity. Silky, balanced mouthfeel and elegant finish. Excellent for roasts and winter casseroles or hard cheeses.
Tasted Feb. 2017
From Vicente Faria Vinhos in Portugal's, Gloria Reserva (2014) is a red wine blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 25% Tinta Roriz. - Community Wine Reviews
