Porto Duorum Vintage 2011

Grape Varieties: Field Blend Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz.

Tasting Notes: Red color with deep and dense violet tones. Elegant and very intense aroma, dominated by ripe black fruits such as blackberries, plums and cassis, where balsamic aromas such as rockrose, resins and cedar are also noted. Very full-bodied and with great structure, it has a well-balanced acidity, firm and ripe tannins, all well involved in your body. This set provides a very persistent, harmonious and elegant finish. All of this allows us to predict great longevity.

Vinification: Begins with pre-fermentation maceration at a temperature of 10-12ºC. Fermentation follows in stainless steel vats with robotized treading at a controlled temperature that does not exceed 30ºC, which provides a strong extraction of the constituents present in the skins. The aromatic intensity and elegance are due to the dominance of the Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz varieties and the presence of many other noble Douro varieties from very old vines. In order to optimize the quality and the desired profile, a careful qualitative selection of the brandy was carried out, which stood out for its organoleptic elegance. This batch of aromas, together with those from the strong extraction, give rise to the intensity and elegance of a Classic Vintage.

Ageing: Maturation in oak vessels. During this period, the wine is subjected to racking, analysis and tasting that allow monitoring its evolution and defining the final blend.
