A red wine with an enormous color depth, violet and dark red, a rich concentration of ripe red fruit, black cherries and plums, followed by the elegant and traditional raspberry flavor of the Vale D wines. Maria.
Since 1996, our first harvest at Quinta Vale D. Maria, we have noticed unique characteristics in every vineyard plot. Every vineyard has its own story to tell. In 2004, the year of our daughter Francisca's 18th birthday, we planted the vineyard of Francisca with the old and trusted grape varieties, Tinta Francisca (first caste planted in Portugal in the Douro in 1756 on Quinta de Roriz - Quinta da famíla of Zeller until 2009), with Touriga Franca, Sousão, Rufete and Touriga Nacional. The vineyard is 4.5 hectares

This blend of five Douro grapes comes from a single vineyard on the Vale Dona Maria estate. Dusty tannins set the scene for rich black-licorice and berry flavors along with intense acidity. The structure and dry core of tannins assure that this wine ages well. Drink from 2023. Roger Voss
