O Produtor, tasting note published in February 7th 2023
Vale D. Maria Douro Superior presents a bright and lively ruby colour. The red fruits typical of Douro Superior are incredibly present in the nose, where the aromas of blackberries, strawberries and black cherries stand out, making this wine very complex and intense. The vanilla notes combine perfectly to enhance the velvety texture of this wine which finishes slowly with a long and deeply fresh finish. Ideal with meat dishes or oven-roasted cod.
At Quinta Vale do Sabor, in stainless steel vats for 7 to 12 days, at a controlled temperature between 22ºC and 27ºC. Aged for 6 months in 2nd and 3rd year French oak barrels. Followed by ageing in stainless steel vats for the remaining 13 months.
