DOC Douro
Vieira de Sousa Tinto Grande Reserva
Our Vieira de Sousa Grand Reserve is produced with grapes from two special vineyards: Our Touriga Francesa from Agua Alta and an old vineyard from Quinta do Fojo Velho. The result of the two of them is a very elegant and full bodied wine. The structure comes from the old vineyards and the silkiness comes from the Touriga Francesa. The main grape variety is Touriga Francesa( 50%) and the other 50% is a field blend of many varieties: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and many more. This old vineyard has more than 20 varieties, old ones that are not planted anymore in the new vineyards. This is what makes the old vineyards so special. After a careful selection on entering the cellar, the grapes were vinified, made the malolactic fermentation and aged in french barrels of 225L.
Tasting notes
Typical notes of plum and rockrose reveal a classic Douro. Deep and multidimensional, with many layers to discover. Good volume in the mouth, firm and compact structure, with very expresssive tannins. This is a wine with a great ageing potential and lots of character.
