Produced by Real Companhia Velha, Quinta Dos Aciprestes Reserva 2017 is a rich, full-bodied Douro blend of 60% Touriga Nacional and 40% Touriga Franca aged 12 months in French oak barrels (50% new). Dry, full-bodied and concentrated on the palate with dark plum, cherry, savoury herb and dark spices on the palate. Pour with a meat-lover's pizza or a sausage cassoulet. Drink or hold.

Food pairings: rib steak, lamb chops, pork tenderloin, roast chicken.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
