Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha do Rio 2019 Tinto
€ 129.00
The Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha do Rio is a red wine with an intense color, with nuances of violet, purple and dark red. This wine has a complexity and an impressive elegance, that only a vine of 100 years can give. There is a certain mature attitude of this wine, which shows aromas of raspberries, plums and black cherries, combined with fresh notes of stew, no taste too obvious direct, but which appears with an elegant discretion as one drinks wine and it evolves in the glass.

One of a pair of single-parcel wines from the Vale D. Maria estate, this magnificent wine is also immense. What makes it so special is the way all this power is controlled. Although the tannins are dominating while it is still young, the style is juicy and fresh from the perfumed black fruit notes. The wine needs to age further and should be ready to drink from 2021.
