WINE DESCRIPTION
Quinta de La Rosa Douro Dourosa Red is a premium red wine produced by Quinta de La Rosa, a renowned winery located in the Douro Valley appellation of Portugal. The vineyard features steep terraces with schist soils, which provide excellent drainage and impart unique mineral characteristics to the grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including foot treading and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with a deep ruby color and aromas of black fruit, spices, and tobacco. The wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Quinta de La Rosa
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
