D. by Duorum is a creation of Duorum Vinhos, a renowned winery in Portugal’s Douro Valley, founded by two esteemed winemakers, João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares Franco. This collaboration merges their deep expertise with the unique terroir of the Douro region, famed for producing some of the world’s finest ports. Duorum’s philosophy emphasizes sustainability, tradition, and precision, ensuring that each bottle reflects the exceptional quality and heritage of Portuguese winemaking.

This Tawny Port is an elegant port that stands out for its complexity and smoothness, thanks to its extended aging in oak barrels. This tawny port develops a beautiful amber hue and offers a unique profile compared to ruby port. While ruby ports are fruitier and more youthful, tawny ports, like D. by Duorum, evolve richer, nutty, and caramelized flavors over time. On the nose, it presents dried fruits such as figs, raisins, and apricots, accompanied by notes of toasted almonds, caramel, and a hint of spice. The palate is silky and well-balanced, with layers of toffee, honey, and vanilla, rounded off by a smooth, lingering finish.

It is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with both sweet and savory dishes. Its nutty and caramelized profile makes it a perfect match for desserts like almond cake, crème brûlée, or caramelized pears. It also pairs exceptionally well with soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert and complements dishes featuring roasted nuts or dried fruits. For savory options, consider pairing it with pâtés or charcuterie. Enjoy it slightly chilled as an elegant after-dinner drink, allowing its complex flavors to shine through.
