douROSA, Douro Red Wine

• Vintage: 2017
• Origin: Douro, Portugal

• Taste guide: A typically aromatically rich Quinta de la Rosa wine that balances fresh yet ripe fruit alongside spices. Nice and smooth on the palate, it shows a generosity of ripe, full bodied plum and blackberry flavours with a lovely balanced oaky finish. This is a wine that stands out for its elegance and character.

The red douRosa is a rich, concentrated wine which simultaneously shows the profile of the Douro as weil as the character of the La Rosa wines. Wines that are elegant and in balance, harmony and equilibrium.

Still largely unexplored, the terroir in the Douro offers incredible opportunity. None more so than La Rosa’s, whose vines rise dramatically out of the river with the imposing Vale do Inferno vineyard, and climb steadily upwards to top out at 5oom with Lamelas, whose magnificent views overlook the very heart of the region. The estate’s grapes are category A – the very best the Douro has to offer. Schist soil along with the extremely varied topography enable rich, full bodied wines to have remarkable acidity, minerality, and freshness.
