Quinta Da Pedra Alta Rio Douro Tinto

Description

This Touriga Franca from Quinta da Pedra Alta appears to have been raised with remarkable attention – a meticulous harvest, “selected by hand,” suggests a reverence for tradition, perhaps a slight apprehension of losing something truly special. The wild yeast fermentation, carefully monitored with clockwork precision, ensures every facet of the fruit is lovingly preserved. A touch of Tinta Roriz adds a welcome robustness, skillfully aided by American oak during malolactic fermentation. Following twenty months of fine aging in 50% French and 50% American oak, this wine is ready to be enjoyed – a sublime match for hearty beef dishes or aged cheeses.
