Production

Douro Dog is a dry red wine from Portugal’s Douro region, made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. Touriga Nacional gives structure, dark fruit, and floral depth, Touriga Franca adds ripe berry character and smoother tannins, while Tinta Roriz brings red fruit, spice, and firmness. The wine has the generous fruit profile typical of Douro reds, balanced by dry tannins and enough freshness to keep it food-friendly. A solid, approachable Portuguese red with regional character and broad appeal.
