Real Companhia Velha Vintage 2019 Ruby

Discover Quinta da Rede Vintage 2018 Ruby, a distinguished wine from the Douro region, Lower Corgo sub-region. This exceptional wine results from careful hand selection of grapes at the winery entrance, followed by total destemming and prolonged skin maceration, with alcoholic fermentation in robotic lagares at a controlled temperature of 26ºC for 10 days. This Ruby features a deep color, opaque with bluish tones, reflecting its richness. On the nose, it stands out for its floral notes of rockrose and rosemary, beautifully combined with ripe fruit. On the palate, it offers a harmoniously full body, silky texture, and well-integrated acidity with powerful, high-quality tannins. Perfect for pairing with Queijo da Serra, blue cheeses, or hard cheeses, and chocolate-based desserts. It should be served at a temperature between 16ºC-18ºC. Decantation is recommended after opening, and it should be consumed within 2 to 3 days, keeping the bottle in a cool, dry place to preserve its characteristics.

Strong aromatic intensity. Ripe fruits and wild berries with a light minty touch. It is an elegant wine with good intensity of black fruit. Fresh, firm tannins with a long, floral finish. Ideal as a dessert or social wine, it goes especially well with strong cheeses such as stilton and roquefort and dark chocolate.

Manual harvesting transported in small boxes. Laceration in stainless steel mill and vat at an approximate temperature of 28-30ºC. Stage of 1 year in hull, with filling in the second year. The great majority of the grapes come from the Pinhão River Valley where the Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz are able to withstand the heat that has occurred in the summer. These grapes have been added to other Douro valleys, which translates into a classic blend of the region. The fermentation took place in a mix of closed vats to guarantee the freshness and aromatic component, mill to guarantee greater complexity and structure. After a slow aging and care in our cellars in the Douro, this Vintage now has an intense and mature fruity, in addition to a floral that conveys excellent freshness. It shows a strong concentration and structure in the mouth accompanied always with a rich and aromatic component variability. A classic vintage definitely remembering other decades.
