Evel Douro wines are known for their complex and layered flavors, driven by the blend of traditional Portuguese grape varietals.
This wine typically exhibits a complex flavor profile. Touriga Nacional contributes floral aromas (violets) and black fruit flavors (blackberry, cassis) and structure (tannins). Touriga Franca adds elegance, aromatic complexity (floral and herbal notes), and refined tannins. Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) brings red fruit flavors (strawberry, cherry) and suppleness. Tinta Barroca contributes body, color, and ripe fruit flavors. The overall flavor profile often includes dark fruit, spice, and hints of earth or mineral notes. Oak aging, if employed, can add vanilla, cedar, or chocolate nuances.
