Doda Red 2012

Douro
17 pts Revista de Vinhos - Doda presents a beautiful deep ruby colour. Springtime aroma, with fresh floral notes and berries in a harmonious but most lively and expressive set. On the palate, strong and with good volume, shows itself very enveloping and deep. The tannins are present but well integrated, structured and with mineral profile. The aftertaste is long, fleshy and full of berries. A pleasant wine when young, due to its robustness, although it is expected a long and healthy ageing in the cellar.

Product details

Winemaking:
It combines the very best of two regions. This edition results from the union of 60% of a wine lot from Douro region, produced in the Quinta de Nápoles from very old vineyards, one of them with more than 120 years old, and 40% from a wine lot from Dão region, produced in Quinta da Pellada also from old vineyards and from the typical grapes from the region – Tourigo, Jane, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz. fermentation of the Dão batch was carried out in lagares and aged in French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation occurred. Douro grapes were fermented partially in stainless steel small vats (20%) and another part in traditional stone lagares where the grapes were gently foot treaded with pre-fermentative maceration. After 10 days of fermentation, the wine aged 21 months in French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation occurred. The final blend was bottled without any fining.
