Quinta Do Valle Longo Tinto

Description

“This Longo do Valle, showcasing the hallmark character of Touriga Franca alongside the structural backbone of Aragonez, clearly enjoyed a period of contemplative maceration before fermentation. This “meditação,” as the producer aptly calls it, was a carefully extended maceration, and the subsequent controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with daily lees stirring suggests a deliberate approach – a wise strategy considering the Douro’s demanding terroir. It promises beautifully with a hearty, roasted beef.”
