Quinta Vale Dona Maria Rufo 2018 Tinto
Rufo was born after a conversation with friends after a dinner, while discussing how to improve agricultural practices towards the environment and increase the population of Alectoris rufa to Vale D. Maria (Alectoris rufa being the scientific name of the Red-legged Partridge) . They agreed that the word Rufo, which means red in Latin, would be a good name for a red Douro wine. Rufo in Portuguese means drum, which was traditionally played in the region during harvesting. It marked the rhythm of the arrival of the grapes at the winery. When designing the label, the drum quickly became the symbol of this new Vale D. Maria wine.
The result is a an elegant and fresh red wine, with powerful fruity aromas and a very long finish. This wine is balanced, intense and velvety while finesse and elegance
