Quinta do Romeu Tinto (2018)

From the Importer: The Quinta do Romeu Tinto is fresh style Douro red blend made from all organic and handpicked grapes (predominately Tourgia Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca, and Sousão). All grapes come into the cellar for manual selection and sorting, as the stalks are then completely removed and followed by a gentle foot crushing, with slow and natural yeast fermentation in big granite lagares. After 2 winters in large concrete vats, no fining and a very rough filtering takes place, and the finished wine full of expression and spice. Aromas are youthful and intense coming from the glass, loaded with red fruits and a beautiful floral character. Balanced acidity on the palate accompanied with fruity persistence and soft tannins, make for a very elegant and approachable young wine that is extremely versatile on the dinner table.
