Information about "VZ 15 Gerações Douro Tinto 2015"

The VZ 15 Gerações Douro Tintois a wine with great aromatic complexity of red fruits from the Douro. A powerful, full-bodied wine, resulting in an explosion of fruit aromas, such as raspberries, blackberries and cherries. On the palate, it shows perfect structure which results in a delicious finish.

The first members of the van Zeller family arrived in Portugal at the end of the XVII century. The present van Zellers in Portugal are all descended from Arnaldo João van Zeller, who arrived in Portugal in 1720 and married Ana Francisca Henckel, already the 5th generation in the port wine trade. After some 400 years, the current owners of Van Zellers & Co.are the 15th generation in the Port and Douro wine trade. To celebrate this, theVZ 15 Gerações Douro Tinto(meaning 15 generations) was created from various old vineyards in the region. It reflects the different "terroirs" that have made up the greatest Port and Douro wines for many centuries.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben wurden von Hand gelesen, und auf traditioneller Art per Fuss zertreten. Gärung erfolgte bei einer Temperatur zwischen 22 und 27°C für 7 - 10 Tage wonach malolaktische Gärung in ein-Jahr alten Fässern aus französischer Allier Eiche, und auch in Edelstahlbarriques, statt fand. Der Wein reifte in diesen Fässern für circa 21 Monate vor die verschiedenen Rebsorten zum fertigen Verbrauch verschnitten und abgefüllt wurden.
