Description
A concentrated and beautifully structured Portuguese red blend with intense notes of mature red fruit, hints of violet and herbaceous nuances carrying through to a lingering finish.
Quinta do Vallado was established in 1716 and is one of the oldest and most famous estates in the Douro Valley. It is located on the banks of the River Corgo, a tributary of the River Douro, near the town of Peso da Régua. It was once the property of the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains in the possession of her descendants João and Fransicsco to this day. For nearly 200 years, Quinta do Vallado produced fine Port marketed by the family business Casa Ferreira. During the early 1990s, Quinta do Vallado diversified and alongside their top-quality single estate Ports, it started producing dry red, white and rosé wines under its own brand.
The grapes were fermented in large stainless steel tanks with selected Quinta do Vallado yeasts, lasting one week at controlled temperature varying between 23 and 25°C. 90% of the wine was aged for eight months in stainless steel tanks with mechanical pumping over. The remaining 10% was matured in used, 225-litre French oak barrels of third and fourth use, for 16 months, until final blending.
