Description

Quinta da Romaneira Tres Parcelas Touriga Nacional 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Touriga Nacional from a blend of 3 vineyard sites - Tomba Chapeus, Apontador, and Mina

Taste Profile: A dense and perfumed estate wine that has ripe tannins under the black fruits. The minerality adds texture as well as a succulent character. This wine is beginning to drink well and will go solidly for another decade or two

Winemaking Process: Fermented in steel tanks undergoing malolactic fermentation. It is then aged on oak for 11 months, of which 30% is 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,
