DouTua wine comes from a place where the Douro River meets the Tua River. I consider this wine unique due to the perfect combination of the beauty of the place, the intensity of the heat and the qualities of the soil.
Vineyard
Single vineyard approximately 20 years old. Low production, composed exclusively of indigenous Douro grape varieties: predominantly Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz.
Winemaking
The grapes were subjected to the traditional process of treading in a wine press, and were then vinified in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats and the wine aged for 18 months in 500-liter French oak barrels.
Bottling
Held on December 2, 2024: 1300 750 ml bottles.
Tasting Notes
A red wine with a classic Douro profile, with notes of black fruit, blackcurrant and plum, combined with the balsamic character of its aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is structured and firm, with round tannins. It finishes smoothly, with an elegant finish.
To drink now or let it mature.
Serving suggestion: between 16ºC and 18ºC.
