The Conceito winery’s Douro red is a bold, ripe wine, bursting with aromas of blackberry, cherry, plum skin and cocoa. It is sourced from old vineyards around the Douro Valley, and in classic Portuguese style, the exact composition of grapes may be a mystery, even to the wine-maker.
Rita Ferreira Marques is the heart and mind of Conceito, an oenologist with experience in some of the world’s greatest terroirs, from Bordeaux to California, to New Zealand. In the special terroir of the Douro Valley, Conceito owns 86 hectares of vineyards, spread across 5 farms. All of them are farmed without the use of herbicides or pesticides, in the spirit of minimal intervention in wine-making.
Conceito’s Tinto has been released every year since 2005, serving as the winery’s most complete expression of the Douro region. It is soft and sumptuous in the mouth, balanced with a fresh acidity. Look for flavours of ripe berries, figs, cigar smoke, spice and herbal hints of cola. With its maximalist yet elegant character, it is a fantastic bottle to start exploring Portuguese wine with. Enjoy it with high-quality cuts of meat, roast chicken, or beef stew.
A Birthday to Remember with DAOU & Colomé Celebrating my mother’s birthday was made even more special thanks to two incredible wines—DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 and Colomé Auténtico Malbec 2020. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon. From the first sip, it enveloped us in its rich, velvety embrace. The deep dark fruit flavors, hints of cocoa, and perfectly balanced oak made every glass feel like a true indulgence. It was bold yet elegant, a wine that effortlessly brought warmth and joy to our gathering. Seeing my mother savor each sip with a smile made it all the more memorable. The Colomé Auténtico Malbec also delivered beautifully, with its pure expression of high-altitude Malbec. It was powerful, with ripe blackberries, spice, and a smooth, lingering finish—an excellent complement to the evening. These wines didn’t just enhance our meal; they became part of the celebration, elevating every toast and conversation. A heartfelt thank you to DAOU and Colomé for making this special occasion truly unforgettable!
