The 2022 Quinta Nova "Terroir Blend" Douro Tinto Reserva is a sophisticated red wine from Portugal's Douro Valley, crafted from a blend of traditional grape varieties. Originating from the rugged terraces of the Douro Valley, this wine reflects the region's schist soils and steep vineyards, which contribute to its complexity and depth.
It exhibits an intense, deep red color, indicative of its concentration and the superb vintage. The aroma is complex and dense, featuring wild berries, cassis, blueberries, and white spices, offering a seductive bouquet. On the palate, it presents great concentration with a muscular structure balanced by a juicy texture. Flavors of black raspberries, blueberries, and cassis are laced with notes of vanilla, cocoa, toast, leather, and baking spices. The finish is tense, long, and deep, leaving a lasting impression of fruit and subtle spice.
