Quinta Nova Vinha Centenária Referência P28/P21 Tinto 2018

The Parcela 28 (Plot), planted with Tinta Roriz, consists of 2650 vines, with a slope of 25% and an altitude between 205 and 210 metres. Tinta Roriz clearly demonstrates the challenge of wine and human persistence in preserving an ancient and authentic Douro.

Grape Varieties: Tinta Roriz (75%) and centuries-old vines (25%).

Soils: Schist

Tasting Notes: The austerity of the grape variety is noticeable in the palate, but at the same time, we are seduced by a contemporary sophistication that, allied to a centuries-old vineyard gives rise to a Referência (Reference) in the Portuguese Douro: a wine full of minerality, blue berries, rich in spicy notes, with a firm structure and a very narrow mouth. The high concentration, density and depth expresses well its origin.

Ageing: 12 months in new French oak

Winemaker: Jorge Alves

Viticulture: Ana Mota
