Flavour profile
Bold and juicy, this wine is full of dark fruits like blackberry and black cherry, alongside a touch of spice and wild herbs. It’s full of energy with soft, rustic tannins and a fresh lift of acidity. Unfiltered and a bit cloudy in the glass, it has a raw, natural charm and a long, slightly savoury finish. A wine with attitude, but still incredibly drinkable.
About Quinta do Javali winery
Quinta do Javali is a small, family-run estate located in the heart of the Douro Valley. Known for their bold approach to natural winemaking, they farm organically and vinify their wines with minimal intervention, often using amphorae and wild yeasts. Their wines are expressive, honest, and often a little wild, just like the boar (javali) that gives the estate its name.
About the Douro Valley
The Douro Valley is one of the world’s oldest and most dramatic wine regions, famous for its steep terraced vineyards and schist soils. While traditionally known for Port, the region also produces powerful, characterful dry wines, especially reds made from indigenous varieties like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. The intense sun, rugged terrain, and low-intervention winemaking all contribute to bold, age-worthy wines with a distinct sense of place.
How to pair it
Crazy Javali is great with hearty, flavourful dishes. Try it with grilled meats, barbecue, or spicy sausages. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables, mushroom dishes, or even a smoky lentil stew. Slightly chill it if you’re having it with lighter fare, it’s a flexible red that’s made for fun, relaxed meals.
