QSS Rare Tinto Touriga/Cab

by QSS · Douro Valley, Portugal

Red • Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon • 13.5% ABV

This Portuguese red blend leads with Touriga Nacional (Portugal's crown jewel grape) backed by the internationally beloved Cabernet Sauvignon – like a local tour guide bringing along a well-traveled friend. The 'Rare Tinto' showcases the best of both worlds: Touriga's floral aromatics and intense fruit character with Cab's structure and aging potential.

The Douro Valley's extreme terroir – with its steep, terraced vineyards and schist soils – gives this wine a distinctive mineral quality that you simply won't find elsewhere. It's the perfect bottle for those nights when you want to venture beyond your comfort zone without needing a wine dictionary.

Think of it as your vinous passport to Portugal without the airfare or the need to remember how to say 'thank you' in Portuguese (it's 'obrigado,' by the way).
