Description
The Douro, despite being a very old region, still has, thanks to its large size and enormous diversity of terroirs, a lot to explore. Quinta de La Rosa is a good example of this diversity, with vineyards from about 100 m, next to the river, in the imposing Vale do Inferno, to 500 meters of altitude, in the vineyard of Lamelas. Always with a privileged view of the Douro River, all the grapes of the Quinta are letter A – the best that the region has to offer. The poor and schist soils, combined with a very varied topography, favor full-bodied wines with excellent levels of minerality, acidity and freshness. The wine is made from 100% Touriga Franca. Most of the grapes for this wine come from the vineyards of Vedeal. Fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (20% new wood).
Tasting Note :
This wine is marked by its ruby hues. With floral and fruity aromas in perfect balance, where wild flowers and ripe blackberries stand out. In the mouth it is quite elegant, with a firm structure and dense body.
