Selle partii kohta
A limited-production Douro red from Quinta da Pacheca, one of the historic estates of the Douro Valley. The 2016 Vale de Abraão Colheita Selecionada was produced from grapes sourced predominantly from Vale de Abraão (85%), supplemented by Vale do Rio Pinhão (10%) and Vale da Vilariça (5%). The grapes were fermented together in traditional granite lagares with foot treading. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine matured for 18 months in second-use French oak barrels, combining the concentration of Douro fruit with extended, carefully controlled oak ageing. Only 4,800 bottles were produced from the 4,000-litre lot. This example is individually numbered Bottle No. 1941. The 2016 is described as a concentrated, structured wine showing ripe black fruits such as blueberry and blackcurrant, floral freshness, chocolate nuances, firm but polished tannins and a long, persistent finish. Current specialist listings identify the principal varieties as Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca.

Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
