Crafted from traditional Douro grape varieties—typically a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca—Animus Douro showcases the intensity and complexity that the region is known for. This wine is designed to be approachable and versatile, offering a taste of the Douro’s terroir with a modern and fresh expression.

Tasting Notes

NOSE:
The nose is expressive, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherry, blackberry, and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of spice, earth, and a touch of floral notes.

TASTE:
On the palate, Vicente Faria - Animus Douro is medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture. The flavor profile is dominated by dark fruit flavors, including black cherry and raspberry, complemented by notes of cocoa, pepper, and a hint of vanilla from the oak aging. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit.

FINISH:
The acidity is balanced, adding a freshness that leads to a clean and satisfying finish, with lingering notes of fruit and spice.

Food Pairing

Vicente Faria - Animus Douro pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile option for many occasions. It complements grilled meats such as lamb, beef, or pork, as well as traditional Portuguese fare like roasted pork belly or grilled sardines. The wine’s fruit-forward profile also pairs nicely with pasta dishes, especially those with rich tomato-based sauces or meatballs. For cheese pairings, consider medium-aged cheeses like Gouda, Manchego, or a mild blue cheese. The wine’s smooth texture and balanced acidity also make it a good match for dishes with a hint of spice, such as a spicy sausage stew or a robust vegetable stir-fry. It’s also enjoyable on its own, making it a great option for casual sipping or entertaining.
