2017 Cerro das Mouras Grande Escolha red

Cerro das Mouras Grande Escolha is a wine produced in years of exceptional quality. The grapes that produced this wine were selected from the best plots and then at the winery. The composition of Cerro das Mouras Grande Escolha 2017 obeyed a selection of French oak barrels by blind tasting. Its blend is mainly composed by Touriga Nacional grape variety, complemented with a touch of Touriga Franca, thus presenting a deep ruby colour with great aromatic intensity. In the nose, the predominant aromas are of black fruits with elegant floral notes, harmonised with balsamic and spicy notes. In the mouth it reveals structure, balance, elegance and freshness with silky tannins and good acidity, revealing a fresh, long and persistent finish.

The Quinta da Veiga is located on the right bank of the River Douro in the heart of Cima-Corgo, near the village of Ferrão, and has about 50 hectares, of which 25 are occupied by vineyards planted with native grape varieties. Its full southern exposure gives it an excellent aptitude for the production of high-quality wines, also benefiting from a wide view over the Douro River and the vineyards that dominate the valley's landscape. The Quinta da Veiga project began in 1986 with the planting of the first vineyards and is currently a Rural Tourism hotel.
