Passágem 2016 Douro Red
Made from a kitchen sink of traditional port varieties, this sumptuously-coloured red brings off the difficult feat of offering the Douro's inherent power in a gently fruity style that is nonetheless true to its roots. 2016 was a cooler year than its predecessor, yielding a more moderate wine - not such a bad thing!
