Description and Reviews:
A juicy red wine with flavours of red and black currant, dried blackberry, with just a hint of liquorice and tobacco showcasing a mix of best local varieties. Easy drinking enough on its own, it would be delicious with cured meats and sharp cheeses, grilled beef, or lamb meatballs.
Tasting Notes:
Red color with garnet hue, intense aroma of wild fruits, blackberries and notes of chocolate. In the mouth it is dense, sweet tannins with notes of cocoa. This combination, as well as the acidity, give density and freshness to the wine, making it elegant and long.
Owned by the Fortunato family, Quinta da Devesa is a small 34 hectare winery in the Cima Corgo sub region of the Douro Valley. The winery has been dedicated to the production of Douro and Port wine since 1941. The vineyards range in elevation from 500 to 600 meters, part south-facing, with excellent sun exposure, and part north-facing where it receives cooler prevailing winds. The vineyards are managed under a minimum intervention system known as “Integrated Production,” focusing on prevention of pests and disease rather than spraying once infected. This way, the vineyards provide a healthy habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals, ensuring adequate biodiversity and a balanced, sustainable environment.
