The 2017 Tinto is a blend of 30% Touriga Nacional, 20% each of Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, plus mostly a field blend from old vines for the rest. It was all aged for 13 months in third and fourth use French barriques. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fine bargain point in Vallado's increasingly pricey lineup. In its youth, this is gloriously flavorful, just bursting with fruit. Yet that's not all there is. It has marvelous purity and just enough structure. It is not designed for power or long-term aging, of course, but it can certainly hold several years very well, perhaps better than anticipated. Still, you won't want to lose that fresh young fruit. That's what this does best. There were 200,000 regular bottles produced, plus some in other formats.
