Description

Quinta da Romaneira Tinto Reserva 2017

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of old vine Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa parcels, situated throughout the Romaneira vineyard in the Duoro Valley, Portugal

Taste Profile: Intensely concentrated fruit, wild & delicate aromatic nose & long fresh finish. Harmonious balance & finesse, giving it the marks of a great wine

Winemaking Process: Fermented ins tainless steel tanks for 12 days, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. Aged in oak for 12 months, of which 35% are new French oak

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
