Quinta da Romaneira Douro Tres Parcelas Touriga Nacional 2020

One of the main focuses of Romaneira's owner and Bordeaux man Christian Seely is to show that the Douro has more to offer than great Ports. The ultimate terroir can also produce top-quality still wines, which are not inferior to wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy or the Rhône. .

The domain also makes an extensive selection of impressive red wines. This magnificent wine is made from touriga nacional, the quality grape of the Douro. The grapes are picked in three specific steep slope vineyards ('tres parcelas').


Once harvested, winemaker Carlos Agrellos ferments the grapes in stainless steel tanks for eight days. He then ages the wine in partly new and partly used French oak barrels. This ensures that the oak notes blend nicely with the fruit and do not become dominant.

It results in an impressive red Douro with a lot of finesse and depth. The wine combines a refined scent of violets, ripe dark fruit and vanilla with a powerful structure and a long finish. The beautiful freshness and supple tannins are striking, which makes the wine after some time aeration in a carafe is already delicious to drink. Beautiful with a nice piece of grilled red meat or matured hard cheese.
