Quinta do Ataíde 2017 - Organic Red

Aromas of Mediterranean vegetation, with hints of pine needles and a touch of vanilla — from the well-integrated wood. In the background, there are also some pleasant lavender notes. Bold on the palate, with succulent, black plum and wild berry flavours. The muscular structure has a fine balance of rounded tannins and acidity, which combine to give the wine great precision and freshness.

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.
