Vallado Reserva Tinto

Description

The Vallado Reserva red wine is produced from old vines aged 60 to 100 years, composed of more than 35 traditional Douro grape varieties, with a predominance of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca. After malolactic fermentation, it ages for 18 months in 225‑liter French oak barrels. It presents a very concentrated aroma, with notes of fig, blackberry, tobacco and subtle balsamic nuances of the wood. On the palate it reveals itself full‑bodied and meaty, with mature and round tannins, ending with an elegant, mineral, persistent and complex finish. One of the most prestigious quintas in the Douro is Quinta do Vallado, a property that belonged to D. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, the Ferreirinha, and which still remains in the hands of its descendants. The Vallado wines were unjustly forgotten and have now naturally recovered their lost time. They are wines of great importance in the history of the Douro that deserve to be in top spots. Built in 1716, Quinta do Vallado stands as one of the oldest in the Douro. It is located near Régua, on the banks of the Rio Corgo. The fate of this emblematic Quinta lies in the hands of João Alves Ribeiro and Francisco Ferreira, both descendants of the Ferreirinha, responsible for the management of the company and enology, respectively.
