"The 2020 Tinto Vertente combines Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and others from the DOC Douro and was aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Garnet in color, it offers aromas of ripe plum and blackberry fruit, along with wild herbs and an oaky layer. Dry, rich and juicy, it offers firm tannins as the palate lingers on its dark fruit tones."
Winemaker Notes:
"The grapes for Vertente come from the slopes of Pinhao and Tedo rivers - both Douro tributaries. The grape blend includes several varieties, where Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz are predominant. Vertente is a fresh and elegant wine. Its freshness and youth come from the vines of Quinta de Napoles and its elegance from the old vineyards of the Pinhao valley."
Alcohol: 13%
