2024 Co-op Irresistible Douro, Douro Valley

( £8.50, 13%, The Co-op )

Portugal’s Douro Valley is still more famous for fortified than table wines, thanks to Port, but it’s much more diverse than most people imagine. This is an equal blend of Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca with 10% Touriga Nacional that’s all about fruit rather than oak, revealing layers of blackberry and fig complemented by top notes of violet and mountain herbs.
