    • Description

    The 2018 Tinta Francisca Douro Red from Quinta das Carvalhas is a notable wine that highlights the unique characteristics of the Tinta Francisca grape, a less common variety in the Douro Valley but one that can produce elegant and aromatic wines.

    Tasting Notes
    The wine comprises a beautiful ruby colour and aromas of red fruits, floral hints, and subtle spice. It has earthy undertones and minerality. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with bright acidity and soft tannins, with a balanced flavor focus on fresh red fruit and a smooth finish. Drink from Now to 2030+.

    Serving and Food Pairing
    Serve at 16 Celsius and pair with lighter dishes such as poultry, grilled vegetables, and dishes with tomato-based sauces. It can also complement soft cheeses and charcuterie.

    Quinta das Carvalhas is one of the most emblematic and spectacular properties in the Douro valley. Written references regarding this magnificent vineyard can be traced back to 1759. Enjoying a prominent position on the left bank of the Douro river, in Pinhão, the estate covers the entire hillside facing the Douro river and occupies part of the slopes of the right bank of the tributary Torto river. Carvalhas’ old vines, are a post-phylloxera plantation, which have reached the respectful age of a century old and represent one of the richest selection of ancient indigenous Douro varieties.

    ** 92 pts Revista de Vinhos **
    Wine quite unique and sophisticated. Intense and fresh scent, which stand out the notes of forest fruits and light vegetable impressions, creating a remarkable complexity. Intense flavours with a lot of presence, however, seems extremely elegant and ends with a long, fresh and very soft finish.
