2016 Quinta do Infantado Premium Douro Wine

Quinta do Infantado 2016 Douro Red Blend
Discover Portugal’s iconic Douro Valley terroir in this meticulously crafted Class A red blend from one of Portugal’s legendary estates.

Estate-Grown Excellence
Sourced from three distinct Class A vineyard parcels (280–350m elevation) across Vale de Moinhos and Serra Douro regions – totaling 10 hectares of schist-rich slopes where vines are manually tended year-round. This biodynamic-certified estate preserves traditional field-blending techniques while adhering to strict sustainability protocols.

Flavor Architecture
A harmonious fusion of indigenous varieties expresses layered red fruit (blackberry, wild strawberry) with underlying mineral notes from schist bedrock fermentation vessels. The 12% ABV structure delivers supple tannins balanced by vibrant acidity – ideal for warm-weather sipping or pairing with Mediterranean-inspired dishes like grilled octopus or rosemary-crusted lamb rack.

Winemaker’s Edge
• Multi-elevation sourcing for nuanced flavor profiles
• Gravity-fed fermentation preserving aromatic integrity
• 18-month oak maturation in French demi-muids
• Certified organic viticulture since 2008

Note: Vintage year may vary based on regional availability.

This limited-production Douro Valley treasure offers exceptional value compared to mass-market blends – perfect for connoisseurs seeking authentic terroir expression without compromising approachability.*
