Tinta Roriz
Warm, dry Douro schist slopes; withstands harsh continental heat.
Known as: Tinta Roriz, Aragonez
Tinta Roriz is Portugal's name for Tempranillo, the Spanish royalty of the Douro, and a pillar of both dry reds and Port.
On the schist terraces of the Douro it keeps its bright cherry fruit and lively acidity, adding energy to the region's powerful blends.
For the buyer, Tinta Roriz brings a friendly freshness to serious wines — the best of Spanish and Portuguese tradition.
