Quinta Dos Aciprestes | Grande Reserva | Red | 2016 | Doc Douro I 94 points Wine Enthusiast

Intro: The Quinta dos Aciprestes Grande Reserva reflects the best that this famous quinta has to offer. Born in the great vintage of 2007, we seek to produce a wine that will present us with the finest aromatic structure, concentration and complexity.

Region: Douro (D.O.C)

Winery: Real Companhia Velha

Grapes: Touriga Nacional & Touriga Franca

Aging: 18 months in new French Oak

Tasting Notes: It is young and lively, with a beautiful deep garnet colour and a fantastic aromatic complexity of black and red berries with hints of oak from its 18 months ageing in oak. Very balanced and fruitful, with ripe red berry flavours, typical of Quinta dos Aciprestes. Its structure is overwhelming, revealing harmony on the palate yet simultaneously intense, powerful and elegant, resulting in a majestic, everlasting finish.
