Farm in the Estrada Valley Grande Reserva Red 2020

From the iconic Quinta no Valle da Estrada, located in Medrões, Santa Marta de Penaguião, this Grande Reserva Red 2020 distinctly reflects the identity of the schist soils and steep slopes of the Douro, where different solar exposures contribute to the balance and freshness of the blend.

Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% second- and third-year), the wine presents a deep and elegant aromatic profile. On the nose, it reveals a captivating complexity, with notes of ripe black fruit (plum, cassis), graphite, tobacco, and delicate violets, intertwined with a subtle balsamic touch that adds freshness and sophistication.

On the palate, it impresses with its tension and precision. The texture is satiny, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins, which provide structure and promise excellent aging potential in the bottle. It finishes long, with an elegant and persistent austerity that reflects the nobility of the terroir and the oenological precision with which it was crafted.

A serious, deep, and characterful red that honors Douro tradition with a contemporary touch of finesse. Ideal with structured dishes or for enjoying during moments of contemplation.
