Quinta Vale D. Maria Vinha Da Francisca Tinto

Description

This wine, from Quinta Vale Dona Maria, clearly demonstrates a near-religious devotion to tradition. The deep violet colour with black cherry nuances hints at a considerable intensity – perhaps a little *too* much for some contemporary palates. The blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa promises the balanced elegance that Cristiano van Zeller, drawing inspiration from Quinta do Noval, so meticulously sought. Remarkably, despite ageing in French oak, the wine retains a vibrant tannic structure, a legacy of the meticulously recovered old vines – truly a ‘pearl’ of a wine. Perfect alongside a perfectly grilled steak or a hearty roast.
