Vale D. Maria

Red
From the slopes of Quinta Vale do Sabor, where the winding river that gives its name narrows the valley, comes a red wine made from Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. Originating from the oldest vineyards on the property, with an average age of 30 to 40 years, planted on terraces and high vineyards, with east and north-facing exposures. Using the best clones of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with low yields, this wine expresses the complexity and vibrancy typical of the Douro, representing an excellent example of the quality of wines from the Vale D. Maria universe.

A wine with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of dark fruit, floral notes, and smoky hints inherited from barrel aging. On the palate, it is harmonious and silky, with remarkable density. The finish, long and creamy, is the result of velvety and elegant tannins.
