Product Notes

Symington Family Estates' Altano Douro Red wine emanates a majestic allure. From Portugal's Douro wine region, this brilliant ruby-coloured wine has complex aromas of wild berries, spices, and a hint of oak. Offering an intriguing balance of tannin and acidity, it has a robust body with vibrant, dark fruit flavours. The finish is exceptionally smooth, leaving a lingering trail of earthy notes. It can be ideally paired with red meats, hearty stews, or strong cheeses. Famed for its excellent quality, it beautifully showcases the Symington family’s deep-rooted understanding of the Douro valley's terroir.

Tasting Notes

Deep, crimson colour. This Altano red reveals scented floral aromas and focused, fresh fruit. Simultaneously full and silky on the palate, well defined red fruit flavours come to the fore, enveloped in soft, ripe tannins and spicy notes. Generous, wellstructured and elegant.
