Product information "Quinta Vale Dona Maria Douro Tinto 2012"
The Quinta Vale Dona Maria Douro Tinto is a sensation! A very elegant and fresh wine, with great colour - violet, dark red and purple. It has a wonderful concentration of dark fruit aromas, black cherries and plums, as well as soft aromatic fruity notes. Great balance in harmony with the acidity. Intense and velvety with finesse and elegance, which is so classic for this wine.

The grapes for Quinta Vale Dona Maria Douro Red come from the oldest vineyards of the estate, which are 60 years old on average and cover a wide range of more than 40 different traditional grape varieties. Varieties include Tinta Amarela, Rufete, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Francisca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Sousão and many more. After the harvest, all the grapes are crushed with the feet in the traditional "lagares" for one to three days before they are put into different barrels for seven to ten days for fermentation, with temperatures ranging from 22° to 27° C.
The wine is then transferred for malolactic fermentation in 225 l and 300 l barrels made of new French Allier oak. All wines are then carefully aged in barriques (75% new and 25% old French oak) for 21 months, keeping all the different fermentation processes completely separate, until the desired cuvée is blended one month before bottling.
