Exclusive Import, New from Quinta Dos Roques.

'2 Castas' The top "two grapes", Displaying perfectly the wine of the region. Touriga Nacional (50%) and Alfrocheiro (50%)

"In the process of making our Colheita, we found out that Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro were the two varieties that, in 2018, came closest to our idea of what a red Dão wine should be – Aromatic without being excessive, fresh in the nose and in the mouth, silky structured and very well balanced."

Winemaking - Pressing of the grapes with total desteming, Followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats with selected yeasts. Maceration period of 14 day. Ageing French oak barrels of 225 L for 10 months. Before bottling the wine was only subject to a light filtration. 

Ruby-coloured, perfectly clear. Fresh aromas, Showing the grape varieties that compose it, Florals of Touriga Nacional and the light red fruits of Alfrocheiro. The wood is tenuous and elegant. In the mouth, freshness and red fruits. Following beautiful balance of alcohol, acidity, tannins and body. A wine that lends itself very well to ageing in 10-15 years this wine will have developed beautifully. If you cant wait until then, some aeration is certainlly required. 

Pair with BBQ meats, Tapas and Charcuterie.
