Churchill's Estates Douro 2012

An essential white wine from Vallada. Quinta do Vallado is today the biggest and the most modern equipped winery of a Douro region. Entire production comes from their own vineyards. With Vallado you will not make a mistake when it comes to high quality. This wine only ages in stainless steel tanks and it is made of the following breeds - Rabigato, Códega, Viosinho, Gouveio (Verdelho) and Arinto. Very fresh flowery aroma with a tint of a yellow melon. Pleasant citrus fruits in the taste.

A winery of long tradition over 300 years old with an Esteva flower as their symbol with a meaning of persistence and longevity; and so is the wine of their production. Distinctive opulent wine from a Douro region, but with a very well balanced taste. It is made of a Red Portuguese Blend (cuveé exclusively made of red wines from Portuguese breeds - mainly from Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Barroca). An elegant tint of spices. A strongly concentrated aroma of figs and blackcurrant with tones of tobacco and oak wood. Very velvety in a taste. Decently mineral, delicate, long and complex aftertaste. We recommend opening the wine around 30 minutes before consuming for a more vibrant experience of scents and flavors. The wine is highly rated by critics.
