Description

After malolactic fermentation, all the wines were transferred to oak half barrels where they remained for about 17 months. With a very concentrated aroma, this wine presents balsamic notes from the oak wood, fig and blackberry fruit, tobacco. In the mouth, it is very full-bodied, fleshy with mature and round tannins. The finish is elegant, mineral, very persistent, and complex.

One of the most prestigious Quintas in the Douro is Quinta do Vallado, a farm that once belonged to D. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, the Ferreirinha, and which remains in the hands of her descendants. Vallado wines have been unjustly forgotten and have now naturally recovered the time lost. They are wines of great importance in the history of the Douro and deserve to be in the top places.

Built in 1716, Quinta do Vallado is one of the oldest in the Douro. It is situated right next to Régua, on the banks of the River Corgo. The destiny of this emblematic Quinta is in the hands of João Alves Ribeiro and Francisco Ferreira, both descendants of Ferreirinha, and responsible for the company's management and oenology, respectively.
