2020 Douro Red Wine Meandro do Vale Meão
Meandro is the entry-level wine from Quinta do Vale Meão in the Douro Superior, not far from the Spanish border. As the Quinta is situated within a loop formed by several bends in the Douro – and the river thus meanders around the estate – the name ‘Meandro’ was chosen.
Meandro Tinto is a lush, warm and smooth red wine made from the region’s key grape varieties. Alongside aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries, violets and allspice, it is characterised by velvety tannins in its dense, mouth-filling body. The 2020 vintage is currently – in September 2026 – wonderfully integrated, with lovely length and juicy freshness.
Serve it slightly chilled (17/18 °C) with beef and stews.

Quinta do Vale Meão
5150-501 Vila Nova de Foz Côa
PORTUGAL
When the grande dame of port, Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, acquired an impressive 300 hectares near the Spanish border in 1877, she laid the foundation for one of the most exciting quintas Portugal has to offer. North of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, the Douro River meanders, creating three different soil formations: stony alluvial, granite and slate combine to form a unique terroir covering 98 hectares of cultivated land. Since 1998, Dona Antónias great-great-grandson Francisco de Olazabal and his son of the same name have been producing outstanding quality wines here. The red grapes ripen in individual plots, are fermented separately and then blended into cuvées. The single-varietal tintos from Monte Meão also impress with their concentration and extraordinary elegance.
