Passagem Reserva Tinto

Description

This Passagem Reserva from Quinta das Bandeiras in the Douro Superior is a truly captivating journey. Initially revealing elegant violets and bergamot, it quickly unfolds into a rich tapestry of ripe blackberry, cherry, and raspberry – as praised by Revista de Vinhos with a fantastic 17.5 points! A subtle hint of tar and herbaceous notes adds a delightful complexity. Despite its serious character, this wine – a collaboration between the Bergqvist de La Rosa family and renowned enologist Jorge Moreira – is undeniably a pleasure to drink. The 18 months in French Allier oak barrels, followed by another six in the bottle, have resulted in a beautifully balanced structure with a superb acidity and a lingering finish, perfectly as noted. It’s an exceptional wine to accompany memorable meals, embodying the legacy of Quinta de la Rosa, a Douro pioneer since 1815, and their unwavering commitment to quality.
