Rufo Douro DOC - Quinta Vale Dona Maria

The Rufo Douro of Quinta Vale Dona Maria from Douro & Porto reveals a bright, purple color in the glass. This Portuguese cuvée presents wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, black currants, blueberries and mulberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of other fruits.

The Quinta Vale Dona Maria Rufo Douro presents itself to the wine connoisseur wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the upper price range. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. With its present fruit acidity, the Rufo Douro reveals itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this youthful from the wine-growing region Douro & Porto finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of mulberry and black currant show.

Vinification of the Rufo Douro from Quinta Vale Dona Maria

This balanced red wine from Portugal is made from Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn into bottles. Once the wine is finished, the Rufo Douro is carefully harmonized.
