Quinta das Tecedeiras Reserva Tinto 2019

A Reserva made from old vines and several emblematic Douro grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Barroca. Extended post-fermentation maceration. Almost a year and a half in French oak barrels, this wine promises an excellent aging capacity

Tasting Notes: Colour intense ruby red. Nose Revealing at once intense and elegant characteristics, this wine makes remarkable first impressions, dominated by red and bramble fruit, floral notes and a hint of spices that confer complexity. The oak is well integrated. Palate In the mouth, structure and balance are notable markers, with smooth tannins that make for a long and aromatic finish. Without doubt, a gastronomic wine

Winemaking: Manual harvest, transport in small boxes to avoid premature crushing. Once in the cellar, grapes are vinified plot-by-plot and in promising years for certain grape varieties, these are also treated separately. Extended post-fermentation maceration. Almost 18 months of aging in French oak barrels

From Cellar to Table: Accompanies roasted or grilled meats and game, as well as some more complex cheeses.
