2024 Pacheca red

Pacheca tinto is a wine that beautifully expresses the character of the Douro through a harmonious blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. It displays an intense ruby colour and an enticing bouquet, with ripe red and wild berry aromas complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle hints of spice.

On the palate, it is balanced and approachable, with smooth, well-integrated tannins that provide structure without compromising elegance. Its refreshing acidity enhances the vibrant fruit character, leading to a long, pleasant and gastronomic finish.

A versatile and appealing wine, it pairs wonderfully with grilled and roasted meats, traditional dishes and a selection of cheeses, offering a fine representation of the fruit-driven, elegant and contemporary style of Douro wines.

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.
