Portuguese wine has always been made differently, and this Douro red is no exception. It is a deep, vivid scarlet in the glass, crafted from a field blend of more than 30 native grapes, the exact identities of which are a mystery even to the winemaker. It opens with a rich bouquet of wild blackberries, plums, and blackcurrants, with hints of spice and graphite.
Wine & Soul, founded by the husband and wife power couple Sandra Tavares and Jorge Serôdio, is a winery dedicated to producing wines that reflect the majesty of the Douro Valley, where Jorge was born and bred. They acquired Quinta da Manoella in 2009, an ancient collection of vineyards with a history dating back to 1838. The Vinhas Velhas was the first wine they ever produced, and remains their signature to this day.
The Quinta da Manoella Vinhas Velhas is charming and complex on the palate, exhibiting a labyrinth of dark fruit flavours: black cherry, cassis, and plum mingle with sharp minerality and fresh herbs. The wine is full-bodied and well structured, with a long graphite finish. It would make an excellent partner for roasted game, aged cheeses, or rich red meat dishes.
Great choice of wines and very fast delivery.
