Quinta Dos Aciprestes Tinto

Description

This wine from Quinta dos Aciprestes is a beautifully understated tribute to Douro tradition, thanks to a year spent ageing in French oak balseiros. Crafted primarily from aged Touriga Roriz and Tinta Barroca vines – some over 50 years old – it bursts with ripe cherry and plum aromas, a classic reflection of the Douro’s terroir. The legacy of the Real Companhia Velha, with its impressive 258-year history, ensures a consistent and meticulous production. It’s a supremely harmonious wine, even after its time in wood – perfect with roasted lamb, perhaps?
