WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta do Vallado Tinto is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, Quinta do Vallado. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in Douro Valley, known for its rugged terrain and steep vineyards. The grapes are carefully selected from the estate's oldest vines, which are over 70 years old, and are hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of black fruit, spices, and a hint of vanilla. Quinta do Vallado Tinto is a perfect representation of the Douro Valley's unique terroir and winemaking traditions.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This medium-bodied red blend from Quinta do Vallado is a delightful combination of aromas and flavors.On the nose, bright cherries and raspberries mingle with hints of cedar and spice. On the palate, a balanced acidity is accompanied by a delicious array of ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries, with accents of licorice and earth. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering hint of sweet spice. Enjoy this delightful Portuguese blend with grilled meats and vegetables, or with a variety of cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta do Vallado

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.
