O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2022

Intense violet colour showing concentration, aroma still very young of enormous complexity but still difficult to define, but there is all the Douro, the ripe fruit, the cistus, the flowers, the woods and the ever-present schist. In the mouth dense and rich, but not heavy at all. Long and complex with tannins well present but resolved that give it tension and life without removing elegance or balance.

Quinta de La Rosa

The summer months were hot and dry with two rainy days at the end of August which gave us ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen and develop. We started harvesting on 9th August and this lasted until the following 2 months, as during the harvest we stopped and started again several times so that we could harvest the grapes at the ideal ripening state. The conditions were perfect. We ended up producing grapes with excellent quality and concentration. The wine did the malolactic fermentation and aged in French oak barrels from different cooperages (Francois Freres, Taransaud and Seguin Moreau) for 18 months before being bottled.

Quinta de La Rosa

Quinta de la Rosa has been in the Bergqvist family since 1906, although they have been in the port trade as shippers under the family name, Feueheerd, since 1815. It currently has around 55 hectares under vine and produces around 50,000 litres of port and 160,000 litres of table wine each year.

Quinta de la Rosa was given as a christening present for Claire Feueheerd, Sophia’s grandmother, in 1906. The family port shipping company, Feueheerd, was sold in the 1930s but La Rosa was kept and run by Sophia’s grandmother, Claire. In 1988 Sophia and her father, Tim Bergqvist, decided to restart the family business and launched Quinta de la Rosa as a top quality port producer onto the market place.

Starting in the early 1990s, the Bergqvist famuly were one of the pioneers in taking red wine production in the Douro region seriously. Quinta de la Rosa’s wines, both red and white, have won many accolades in the press and are sold in many prestigious restaurants and wine stores around the world. Since 2002, Jorge Moreira, one of the finest wine makers in Portugal, has been making wines at La Rosa.

Quinta de la Rosa is situated in Northern Portugal, 100kms inland from Oporto. It is set in the heart of the Alto Douro ‘A’ grade port growing area and is located along the banks of the river, near Pinhão.
