Invincible DOC Douro Red Numero UM 2023 75cl

Invincible DOC Douro Red Numero UM

From the steep, high-altitude vineyards of Portugal’s Douro Valley, this red brings together three traditional grape varieties in a concentrated, fruit-led blend. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz grow in old vineyards with free-draining granitic soils, creating depth and character. Traditional lagar fermentation and 16 months of ageing in old French oak contribute texture, fine tannins and a gently spiced finish.

• Nose: Aromas of dark berries and cherry, with delicate oak notes.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this red wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Braised lamb shoulder with rosemary, garlic and root vegetables is a superb match because the richness of the meat softens the tannins while allowing the ripe cherry fruit to shine. The subtle oak spice complements the savoury flavours naturally.

Aged hard cheese with walnut crackers and quince paste works beautifully because the savoury intensity highlights the wine's dark fruit character. The fresh acidity keeps the pairing balanced, while the lingering finish stands up confidently to the flavours.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Invincible

Working with old vineyards in Portugal's Douro Valley, Invincible focuses on traditional regional grape varieties and field blends that express the area's distinctive landscape. Its Número Um wines use grapes from vines over 30 years old, while Número Dois draws on older vineyard sites for greater depth and complexity. The flagship The Invincible range is made from very old vineyards close to the winery in Casais do Douro.

Viticulture centres on low yields, hand harvesting and sustainable practices, with biodynamic methods used where appropriate. In the cellar, the winemaking team combines careful fruit selection with measured use of oak to preserve freshness while developing texture and structure. The portfolio also includes Natural Mystic Vinho Verde, made from Loureiro, Arinto and Alvarinho, as well as a range of Ports from Ruby and White to aged Tawny and Vintage styles. The estate also produces extra virgin olive oil from its own groves.
