Quinta de la Rosa and the Bergqvist family have been making port from their spectacular steep terraced vineyards on the banks of the Douro (near Pinhao) since the early 19th century. Since the decline of port consumption they have been making some very impressive red table wine Jorge Moreira. winemaker of the year by the Revista dos Vinhos (the Decanter magazine of Portugal at their annual dinner in Feb 2010) since taking the reins as winemaker in 2002 has taken the quality of their wines to another level.
We were very impressed with this medium to full bodied red made from the port grape varieties (Touriga Nacional. Touriga Francesa. Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca grapes from the Upper Douro valley). Purity of dark cherry fruit with twist of leather. raspberry. savoury tar and spice. Firm and yet silky tannins balanced by savoury French oak and with some good acid kick on the finish!
