Description

Quinta da Romaneira Petit Verdot 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Petit Verdot from the Mirante parcel of vines in Douro, Portugal

Taste Profile: Indicating the Bordeaux influence behind the winemaking, this Petit Verdot, one in the range of limited production single-variety wines, brings out its structure as well as dense black fruits. A superrich, ageworthy wine.

Winemaking Process: Fermented in stainless steek tanks, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. This is followed by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels, of which 20% are new

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,
