Tasting note
The Symingtons have the largest vineyard holdings in the Douro, producing Altano from a modern, relatively flat vineyard in the Douro Superior ... The Altano is bright and youthful, showing some heat and plenty of tarry strawberry-jam flavor ... a more modern and fresh interpretation of the Douro. (Tasting panel, wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Sept. 9, 2015)
This dry and purplish red coloured red showcases a simple nose releasing spicy, floral, fruity and vegetal scents. You will be charmed with this medium-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, fleshy tannins and a medium finish.
An ideal wine to unwind and relax with at home, or for visiting with friends. Pairs well with a wide variety of dishes. Altano reflects its Douro origins perfectly with its generous aromas of wildflowers, full-bodied structure of fresh and assertive fruit and spicy peppery tones held together seamlessly.
