Quinta do Ataíde 2016 - Organic Red

Floral aromas, notably of roses (reflecting the important Touriga Nacional component), as well as resin and pine needle notes, which give the wine a balsamic fragrance. On the palate, red fruits combine with fleshy, black plum flavours with the slightest hint of wood — beautifully integrated. Full-bodied and substantial, the structure balances power and elegance.

Quinta do Ataíde wines are made from organically farmed grapes grown on this fine 81-hectare vineyard that is situated in the remote Vilariça Valley of the Douro Superior. The Vilariça is a unique location, having a softly undulating landscape of traditional Douro schist based soils, mixed with some alluvial clay, that helps preserve moisture for the vines.
