Quinta do Pessegueiro Tinto Douro 2018

Cellar up to 10 years. It is recommended to decant half an hour before serving.

Inserted in the purest landscape of the Alto Douro Vinhateiro, in Ervedosa do Douro, São João da Pesqueira, Quinta do Pessegueiro is distinguished by its extraordinary architecture. Owned by a French investor, Roger Zannier, the winery has distinct characteristics. The building has five levels where traditional methods of producing high quality wines are combined with the most sophisticated equipment designed to use natural gravity during the entire process that transforms grapes into wine. The use of pumps is totally excluded along the entire route, from the reception of the grapes to the barrel room.

Vinho Tinto is a blend of Touriga Nacional and other local grapes from old vines. It is a wonderful and complex red wine with beautiful color and concentration. The nose is characterized by mineral notes such as wet earth and rock under wonderful aromas of ripe red fruits, vanilla, dark chocolate, and hints of mint. In the mouth, it is rich, balsamic, with red and black fruits and well integrated wood. It has strong tannins and remarkable but balanced acidity.

Excellent with grilled red meat, lamb chops or aged cheese.
