FozTua Grande Reserva 2019

My passion for the Douro took me to Foz do Tua for its beauty and terroir. This was my first wine and I named it after the place where it all began.

Vineyard

Single old vineyard, low production, composed exclusively of native Douro varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz.

Winemaking

The grapes were subjected to the traditional process of treading in a wine press, and were subsequently vinified in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures.

Maturation

Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging in new 500-liter French Allier oak barrels for 17 months.

Bottling

Held on March 9, 2022: 2353 750 ml bottles, 46 1500 ml bottles and 14 3000 ml bottles.

Tasting Notes

Very concentrated wine, with balsamic notes of oak, fig, black plums, cocoa and spices. Full-bodied, firm and mature, with satiny tannins. Complex, persistent and very elegant finish.

It shows a high storage potential.
Serving suggestion: between 16°C and 18°C.
