2020 Pacheca Touriga Francesa Grande Reserva red
Free shipping to Description
Pacheca Touriga Francesa Grande Reserva red wine is made exclusively from the Touriga Francesa grape variety and aged for 18 months in new and used French oak barrels. It has an intense ruby colour and a complex, fruity aroma, with notes of stewed fruit and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is fresh and enveloping, with well-integrated oak, good body and a long, elegant finish.
Quinta da Pacheca, one of the best-known properties in the Douro, stands out for being one of the first to bottle its own-brand wines.
The name of this estate has been referenced since the 17th April 1738, when in a dated document appears for the first time the reference to Quinta "da Pacheca", due to its owner D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. But it was only in 1903 that D. José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his growing interest in oenology, buying the property to dedicate himself to wine production.
Today, a century later, the new Serpa Pimentel generation takes over the management of the Quinta: Maria, Catarina, and José are the young faces of this distinctly family-oriented company.
