O Produtor, tasting note published in September 30th 2023
Deep carmine in color. Aromas of wild shrubland, pine needles, and floral hints of rockrose and wild berries. On the palate, it displays good body with a smooth texture, where red fruit notes and some spice stand out. Well-structured, with a very balanced profile provided by its refreshing acidity. Excellent gastronomic potential.
This Altano Tinto is produced by the Symington family, exclusively from grapes grown in their own vineyards throughout the Upper Douro Valley. The family is now in its 5th generation as a wine producer in the Douro, though their connection to the region’s wines spans 14 generations, dating back to the mid-17th century.
Vinification: Fermented in stainless steel vats with maceration by pump-overs, using a gentle approach and low-temperature fermentation to extract maximum color and aroma.
Aging: Aged in stainless steel vats and in 400-liter used French and American oak barrels.

Symington Family Estates
There is a natural affinity between wine and family. Long-term vision and commitment through many generations are essential for the success of a family wine company. A newly planted vineyard takes time to produce great wines and often requires a lifetime’s work to yield best results. The Symington family, with Scottish, English and Portuguese ancestry has been present in the Douro for five generations — since 1882 — and through the current generation’s great grandmother, the family’s links to the wines of the Douro span 14 generations, to the mid-17th century and to the very beginnings of the history of Port.
