WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta do Pégo Douro Grande Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Quinta do Pégo, a renowned winery located in the Douro Valley appellation of Portugal. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the winery's vineyards, which are characterized by steep slopes and schist soils that impart unique mineral notes to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including foot treading and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and tobacco. The wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or pairing with hearty dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Quinta do Pégo Douro Grande Reserva is a stunning representation of the Douro region.It has a deep, ruby color and aromas of ripe dark berries, plums, and spices. On the palate, it displays a velvety texture and robust flavors of black cherries, chocolate, and leather. There is a hint of smokiness in the finish which adds complexity and depth. This is an excellent wine that will age gracefully for many years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta do Pégo

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.
