The Vale D. Maria Douro Superior has a brilliant and lively ruby color. The typical red fruits of the Superior Douro are incredibly present on the nose, where the aromas of blackberries, strawberries and black cherries stand out, making this wine very complex and intense. The vanilla notes combine perfectly to enhance the velvety texture of this wine which slowly ends with a long and deeply fresh finish. In short, as a Douro wine should be!
Food pairing
A delicious wine ideal for dishes with red roasted and grilled meats

Critics & Awards
92/100 - Andreas Larsson - Tasted Tasted: Dec 2025
Medium deep garnet towards ruby on the rim. Fine perfume with wild berries, violet, rose, sweet spices, gingerbread,mild oak and toast underneath. The palate combines density and freshness with good layers, fine extract in terms of tannin, grainy, still youthful but no hard edges, digest red fruit layered with gingerbread spice and a mild hint of oak, a bit more warmth towards the finish, but good drinkability and freshness leading to a long, vigorous finish.
