Quinta Vale Dona Maria Tinto

Descrição

This Quinta do Vale Dona Maria is undoubtedly a wine paying homage to Douro tradition. The grapes, lovingly trodden in lagares, offer a wonderfully complex aroma of ripe black cherries and plums, which translates beautifully onto the palate with a vibrant acidity. The influence of new oak – 75% of the barriques – contributes a velvety smoothness and a tannin structure that, as critics have noted, elevates this wine to a level of elegance and finesse. A well-deserved 18.5 points – utterly perfect with a hearty roast or braised beef, promising a long, fruity finish that begs for another glass.
