Duque De Viseu Tinto

Description

“The Duque de Viseu from Quinta dos Carvalhais certainly doesn’t hold back. Scoring a remarkable 15.5 points from Grandes Escolhas, this Dão boasts a vibrant ruby hue, layered with violet nuances and dark berry fruit, all underpinned by a subtle spice note – a result of a generous 12 months ageing in used oak barrels. Beatriz Cabral de Almeida describes it as possessing a beautifully refined balance, silky tannins, and a wonderfully lively character, suggesting it’s destined to improve significantly over the next decade if stored correctly. It’s a wine that clearly appreciates a little pampering, wouldn’t you say?”
