Invincible Douro Red Numero Dois 2021
CIDRA18A / 75cl
The brain child of Rita Marques from Conceito wine and Boekenhoutskloof’s very own Marc Kent. A blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Rufete sourced from 50+ year old vineyards. 16 months is spent maturing in French Oak. "Deep purplish crimson. Pretty ripe and luscious on both nose and palate with smoother tannins than many Douro reds – there is still some tannin but it`s very ripe. Lots of work involved in this feat? Yet it definitely tastes of the hot stones of the Douro. Well done! Really rather gorgeous already. Clean, fresh, appetising finish. A cheerful wine that comes out of the glass to metaphorically lick your face affectionately. Bravo!" - Jancis Robinson
