Quinta Da Ferradosa Tinto

Description

This Ferradosa is a wonderfully reverent return to tradition, blending centuries-old vines and hand-treading with a contemporary sensibility. The lengthy, meticulously controlled fermentation – a full seven to ten days at temperatures between 22°C and 27°C – unlocks a remarkable depth of colour and aroma, showcasing the Douro’s distinctive character. Maturation in a blend of new and seasoned French oak barrels adds further layers of complexity, evident in notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle hint of vanilla. It’s a wine that demands – and deserves – a robust beef roast, ideally one with a pronounced umami flavour profile.
