2021 Quatro Ventos, Douro, Portugal

£10.00 inc. VAT

Powerful red from the fabled terraced vineyards of Quinta dos Quatro Ventos.

The hand-picked grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the Douro Valley, where old vines are planted in schist soil in the ‘patamares’ system. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats controlled at 30 degrees with maceration on the skins for 10 – 12 days in total.

Ripe plum, blackberry compote, hints of liquorice and warm spice on the nose, whilst the palate offers dark plum, pepper and spice, and ripe rounded tannins.

A delicious partner to veal, lamb, or a platter of firm mature cheeses.
