What is the Sousão grape variety like?

The Sousão grape variety is a thick-skinned, dark-colored red grape variety that is grown mainly in the Douro region of Portugal. Known for its high acidity and tannin content, the Sousão grape contributes to intensely colored and full-bodied red wines. Its flavors are often fruity and vibrant, with hints of black and red fruits, and on some occasions, it has floral characteristics. Although not commonly used in sweet wines, its presence adds structure and depth to red wines produced with it.

What do sweet Sousão wines pair with?

Sweet wines made from Sousão, while not common, could pair well with rich, intense desserts such as dark fruit tarts, dark chocolates, or powerful blue cheeses. The high acidity and dark fruit flavors of the Sousão variety could balance the sweetness of desserts, while its soft tannins could complement the deep and complex flavors of chocolates and cheeses. However, due to the rarity of sweet wines made from Sousão, it may require exploration and experimentation to find the best pairings.
