O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2019

This wine has an opaque ruby red colour. It is an intense, complex and elegant wine. The notes of black and ripe red fruit, the delicate floral nuances and the
touches of bush giving freshness, are very well involved in a set where the barrel stage only gives more complexity. In the mouth it's harmonious and balanced, with soft tannins giving structure and strength to the wine, in harmony between the fruit and the aromas that remain in a long and persistent finish.

Quinta da Foz

The Quinta da Foz
It consists of 22 ha of old vines and olive groves, with an average age of over 80 years, planted in schist soils, with a maximum altitude of 250m.
To ensure the best use of the land and the best sun exposure, the steep slopes of Quinta da Foz, with slopes that exceed 25% in some areas, have been moulded to implant the vines in three different ways: terraces, traditional terraces and vineyards on the hillside.
Over centuries of cultivation with traditional techniques, the Durians have discovered unique ways of planting their vines, by making the rock on the surface of the arable soil. In turn, the schist guarantees and controls the temperature, thus creating the unique microclimate of the Douro for the development of the vine and roots. The total production of the vines is A-rated, which makes the wines produced at Quinta da Foz high quality. More than 30 varieties are planted at Quinta da Foz, the predominant ones being Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. In winemaking, tradition is associated with innovation, using sophisticated techniques combined with foot treading in granite lagares at a controlled temperature. These are all conditions that together make the great wines of Quinta da Foz.
