Description

This Quinta Vale D. Maria, a wonderfully intimate vineyard of just under a hectare nestled in the Cima Corgo, is a true testament to dedication and a serious love affair with the Douro. Aged for nine months in French oak – a choice that’s clearly paying off with beautifully refined tannins – it’s a wine that truly captures the Van Zeller family’s commitment to reviving this estate, established way back in 1868. It demands a bit of attention, revealing layers of complexity that speak to the age and character of these ancient Douro vines, a recognition that’s been acknowledged on the international stage. Seriously, pair it with some freshly grilled fish or shellfish – it’ll really sing!
