Information about "Quinta do Vale Meão Douro Tinto 2023"
The Quinta do Vale Meão Douro Tinto 2023 is a remarkable expression from the estate's oldest vineyards, where vines over 35 years old impart depth and complexity. It presents a deep, almost opaque crimson hue in the glass, alluring the senses with a harmonious balance of body and aromatic profiles. Notes of red forest fruits mingle with subtle herbal undertones, revealing a wine that is both elegant and robust. On the palate, it showcases refined tannins and an exquisite structure, culminating in a finish that embodies both finesse and power—truly a masterpiece.
Grapes were hand-harvested and sorted meticulously, with each variety vinified separately. Fermentation occurred in traditional open lagares, followed by aging in French oak barrels—45% new—where malolactic fermentation took place, culminating in a careful blending before bottling.
