Quinta do Infantado, Douro Reserva - 2012

Item # 45129 750mL

From a very traditional quinta, this blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional is sourced from 80 year-old vines. Partially destemmed fruit is fermented in lugar, then is aged for 8 months in stainless steel. Another 17 months of oak barrel aging, a portion of which is new, happens before bottling. These reserve bottles have been held back for release now. Pair this dry, structured, tannic red with steak and grilled sausages.

They also show their terroir quite clearly, and represent a great alternative to the modern fruit-driven style. Vinho Verde is Portugal’s most famous white wine.
