Very elegant and fresh, dark red and purple colour, with good concentration of ripe red fruits and black plum aroma, with a soft fruity touch. A very balanced and velvety wine, long and fruity finish.
The grapes are destemmed and crushed in mills for 1 to 3 days before fermentation begins, which takes place in the same mills. Once the fermentation is finished, the wines are cleaned in stainless steel vats, where the malolactic fermentation is processed. Aged for 18 months, 60% in new 225 litre French oak barrels and 40% in used French oak barrels.
Contains sulphites.

Quinta das Brôlhas, situated in the Douro Demarcated Region, consists of two properties with the same name, one on the right bank of the Douro River, near Régua, and the other on the left bank, in Valdigem, where joint winemaking takes place. The 17th Century dwelling house and early 18th Century chapel are located in Valdigem. The winery has the region’s own architecture, with granite presses, chestnut wood barrels and modern stainless steel vats. Part of the production is destined to fortified wine (Port Wine) and the rest is destined to consumption red and white wines. The vineyards are grafted with the best grape varieties of the Region.
The land on these properties is schistose, with small to medium slopes, and south and south/west exposure. The red wines are made from the Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão and Sousão grape varieties, while the white wines come from the Malvasia Fina, Gouveio and Viosinho varieties. These varieties were introduced with the restructuring of the vineyards, which was followed by the modernisation of the winery.
