Product details
Quinta da Roêda is one of the best properties in the Douro. The property, located in Pinhão, was acquired by Croft in 1889 and extensively renovated throughout the first half of the 20th century. Roêda's rich, aromatic wines, with their full fruit character, form the basis of Croft's vintage blend and are the cornerstone of the house's style. A vintage Port is a wine of a single harvest of outstanding quality. The wine must be bottled between the second and third year of age, maturing henceforth in bottle.
Grape Varieties:
Tinta Roriz,Touriga Franca,Touriga Nacional
Tasting Notes:
Center of opaque purple colour, with a lively magenta aureole. The nose shows the characteristic aromas of ripe berries and compote of the Vintages of Quinta da Roêda, which combine with exotic touches of tropical fruit and subtle aromas of aromatic herbs. The notes of liquorice, dark chocolate and spices reinforce its opulent character. On the palate it is soft, smooth and rich, with the flavour of wild fruit compote. The silky texture of the wine is supported by the perfectly integrated tannins that emerge at the end, giving it an attractive strength and vigour. With a thin, seductive nose, a feature common to Vintage Port Wines of 2015, it will continue to gain elegance and complexity over the next three decades.
