Quinta do Ataíde 2016 Vinha do Arco - Organic Red

Aromas of roses mingle with fresh, balsamic notes of pine needles and a nuanced fragrance of mint. The seamlessly integrated wood lends subtle traces of vanilla. Very appealing freshness on the palate with fine acidity and rounded tannins highlighting the bright and focused ripe black fruit flavours.

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.
