Quinta da Ferradosa Vinhas Velhas 2018 Douro Tinto 75cl
Description
An exceptional Douro wine, made from select blends of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca from vineyards planted in 1998 at the iconic Quinta da Ferradosa . Only 10% of the estate's production is used for this wine, allowing for rigorous, cluster-by-cluster selection to ensure maximum quality.
Vinified with foot treading in granite presses , followed by malolactic fermentation and aging for 15 months in French oak barrels (75% new), this red reveals incomparable complexity and elegance.
On the nose, it's very concentrated and fresh , with strong notes of red fruits like strawberry and raspberry, accompanied by delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it stands out for its firm structure , present yet elegant tannins , and a long finish balanced by its vibrant freshness.
