MOIHNO DO GATO DOURO 2021

Moinho do Gato Douro 2021 is a fresh, easy-drinking red wine from Portugal’s famous Douro Valley, made by Quinta do Romeu using organically grown grapes. It’s a great example of a modern, lighter Douro red that still carries the character and quality the region is known for. It’s crafted from a traditional Douro blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), and Touriga Franca – native Portuguese varieties known for their depth and character.
