Limited Time Offer Quinta de la Rosa La Rosa Estate Red 2021 New Release

Quinta de la Rosa's 'La Rosa' Estate Red is the most important wine in the collection, being the first wine that they produced in 1991. The majority of the grapes come from the Lamelas vineyard, planted by Tim Bergqvist more than 30 years ago, where the altitude and morning sun combine to ensure freshness. The estateﾡﾯs grapes are category A, the very best the Douro has to offer. A blend of Touriga Nacional (50%), Touriga Franca (30%), Tinta Roriz (15%) and Sous?o (5%), all from La Rosaﾡﾯs estate, the wine is matured for 12 months in mostly used French oak casks (70%). Although it is unmistakably a Douro wine, the generous ripe fruit is balanced by acidity to ensure freshness, making it extremely versatile. La Rosa Estate Red is a typical Quinta de la Rosa wine, aromatically rich with a balance between ripe, fresh fruit and spices. On the palate it has a generosity of ripe grapes that is in perfectly harmony with the wineﾡﾯs acidity. An elegant wine that also shows its Douro character.
