O Produtor, tasting note published in March 14th 2024
Wine with a rose petal colour, with aromas of extreme elegance: peach blossom, cherry, raspberry, and smoky notes. On the palate, it immediately shows its grandeur: seductive, tense, and vibrant from start to finish.
About this Wine
The Rosé Titan Reserve wine, a project by Luís Leocádio, is born from vineyards planted at an altitude of 700 m, on poor and rugged schist-granitic transition soil, which reveals surprising acidity.<p>
Vinification: Fresh grapes at their ideal ripeness, handpicked into 20 kg boxes, are transported to the winery where they undergo a meticulous manual selection. Whole clusters are pressed in a pneumatic press, and the resulting must is directed to French oak barrels where it ferments at a controlled temperature of 12ºC for 30 days, followed by 6 months of aging with fine lees stirring.<p>
Gastronomy: Enjoy with complex and rich-flavoured dishes such as fatty fish (turbot, john dory, and cod), medium-intensity meats, and aged cheeses.

About this Winery
It was at the foot of Serra do Reboredo (1,000 meters altitude), in Paredes da Beira, at the highest point of the Douro, that everything began, giving birth to the brand “Titan of Douro”. Surrounded by abundant granite outcrops, the area has sandy granite soils interspersed with quartz veins, an altitude between 700 – 1,000 meters, located on the slopes of the Rio Távora, and possesses an enviable heritage of century-old vineyards, untouched over time and maintained by the weathered hands of years of hard work over generations. This results in wines of great freshness, character, and identity!
Titan of Douro is a name inspired by the family's faithful friend, a Dogo Argentino, a dog with a tenderness and courage as big as his heart!

Great taste
This wine is absolutely delicious, beautifully balanced, with a full flavour and a joy to drink. I thoroughly recommend it and the company.
I have been drinking this wine since around 1974, on a business trip to Matosinhos. Medium dry and fruity, with a very pleasant nose. Superbly drinkable, as an aperitif or to accompany fish/shellfish. My first experience was with locally caught clams. None of the harsh dryness of some of the dryer white wines.
A delighfull fragrant. white, ideal for a warm spring evening. Delivery was swift (next day), bottle arrived encased in a well protected package. Well done!
I just happened to buy this wine and tried it to see how it was good. All I can say is that it presents a lovely translucent ruby color, characteristic of the grape, with a delicate, almost ethereal shimmer in the glass. It’s brighter at the rim, hinting at its lighter body and aromatic nature and of course, it taste delicious.
Light, crisp, and just a little fizzy. Perfect for summer barbecues or with seafood. Easy to drink and always a crowd-pleaser!
Lovely smooth red with notes of plum and a hint of spice. Tastes way more expensive than it is! Perfect with grilled meats or cheese. Fast deliver as well.
I've had some great red wines from the Alentejo region in the past, but this white has opened my eyes to some really great white wines from this beautiful part of Portugal.
This is my go to Vinho Verde. It's light and refreshing and is a really pleasant wine to drink. Portuguese Vinho Verdes are unique among white wines I've tried in having that lovely crisp, dry quality that I so love.
A very enjoyable wine, delivered quickly and efficiently.
Very good
Wine was great and the shipping was super fast! Highly recommended
I lectured in Portugal during the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
‘ The Vinho verdhe from Moncao was an absolute favourite which I enjoyed greatly in the Fado houses of Alfama . The Muralhas is not only a nostalgic reminder of good friends but a reminder of the guality and extreme drinkability of one of the great historic wines of Portugal.
A safe and quick delivery. The wine is delicious, perfect as a light drink at lunch or with cheese or fish. Really enjoyed it! Will buy more.
Very impressed with the quality of my order, both the content inside the bottles and the delivery. Will be ordering again for sure.
