winemaker's notes:
Established in 1999, DOMINI represents a joint venture between Domingos Soares Franco of Jose Maria da Fonseca and Cristiano van Zeller, one of Portugal's famed "Douro Boys" (a small group of the Douro's top port and table wine producers). Together, these partners have set out on a mission to showcase the full potential of the Douro's grapes, and the excellence this region's dry red table wines are capable of attaining. DOMINI PLUS is a very limited edition wine (only 200 6-bottle cases made) and is produced strictly in exceptional vintages.
