Pormenor Trilho Tinto DOC Douro 2021 - 0,75l

Pormenor Douro Red 2021 is a fresh Touriga Nacional blend from Portugal's Douro, with cherry, blackberry, smoke, low alcohol and schist-born grip in the glass. This is Douro red in a nimble register. Touriga Franca adds dark fruit. Tinta Roriz brings red cherry and a dry edge. The 12% alcohol makes the bottle especially easy to pour with food.

About the Wine
The 2021 Pormenor Douro Red brings together Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz from schist soils in the Douro. Its 12% alcohol gives a clear clue to the style. This is a red built around fresh fruit and a lighter frame. The sustainable certification also matters here. It places this bottle inside Pormenor's detail-led approach to farming and sourcing. The schist shows in a dry potting-soil note that sits under the cherry and blackberry fruit. In the cellar, the wine is aged briefly in stainless steel or older oak. That short ageing keeps the fruit at the front of the glass. The oak element feels seasoned and quiet. It adds leather and a faint smoky line rather than sweetness. The dry finish has a pencil-shaving tone that fits the wine's low-alcohol profile. A faint woodland note sits beside the darker blackberry core.

Tasting Notes
The colour is deep ruby, and the first smell is juicy cherry with blackberry just behind it. Leather, smoke and a potting-soil note give the 2021 Pormenor Douro Red a savoury side that feels very specific to this bottle's schist-grown Douro fruit. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with mild tannins that grip the gums gently and then fade into cherry skin, cooked plum and a touch of graphite. The 12% alcohol keeps the fruit clear, and the finish lands on blackberry, old leather and a fresh woodland hint. Drink 2024-2027.

Food Pairing
This Pormenor Douro Red 2021 is very useful at the table thanks to its dry fruit, mild tannins and 12% alcohol. For a regional match, pour it with posta mirandesa or a simple grilled beef steak with coarse salt and olive-oil potatoes. It also has the right savoury tone for roast chicken with mushrooms, duck rice, or pasta with a slow pork and tomato ragù. Aged sheep's cheese, chouriço and other charcuterie bring out the leather and smoke in the wine. Serve it slightly cool if the dish is rich or salty.

Producer
Pormenor means detail in Portuguese, and that name gives a good way into this Douro producer. The project is associated with Pedro Coelho, whose wines have helped make a fresher reading of the Douro feel natural rather than forced. In this 2021 red, the detail is easy to find in the 12% alcohol, the brief ageing and the way Touriga Nacional shares space with Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. Older oak plays a small role here, leaving a trace of leather and smoke around the cherry and blackberry fruit. The producer's hand feels careful in the wine's texture, which has gentle tannin and a clean dry line instead of heavy extraction. In the 2021 Pormenor Douro Red, that attention lands on cherry skin, old leather and a schist-like earthy finish.
