Quinta da Carolina 2003 Red
Manual harvest, bunch by bunch, individually selected. Fermentation in a stone mill and treading of the masses lasting between 6 to 8 days. Malolactic fermentation and 16 months aging in French and American oak barrels. Ruby red in color with aromas of red fruit matching perfectly with the touch of barrel. In the mouth, the firm tannins and fruit stand out, complementing each other in a complex and elegant structure. Contains sulfites.
Quinta dos Frades Grande Reserva Red
100Hectares Blend Castas Tintas Red
Aging for 6 months in French oak barrels. Selection of grapes in the cut and transport in boxes directly to the cellar. Vinification with crushing and total destemming. Fermentation in an open press with controlled temperature. A perfect blend, very lively and young red fruit. The floral and fresh character stands out, which in conjunction with sweet aromas that result from a short period of aging in wood, gives it some complexity and harmony. In the mouth it is full-bodied, with a fresh and persistent finish, showing a good balance between natural acidity and structure. The mineral character of the Region is very present in the freshness of the wine. Contains sulfites.
Quinta da Pellada Alto Red
The Quinta da Pellada Alto was aged for 28 months in French oak use room. This is one of a trio of wines, this issue that owner Álvaro Castro has issued with old style labels as an exercise in terroir. This is a field mix of the highest plot (although in less than 10 meters - the differences are more in the soil); The House is the "most exposed" corner, with a different kind of soil; and the "49" is the middle pack. Its elegance makes it look lighter, but it is much more concentrated than the first taste would suggest. It has excellent fineness of the middle palate, full of flavor, well rolled and beautifully constructed.
Contains Sulfites.
