Description
The terroir in the Douro is still largely unexplored and by making wines with harmony and equilibrium from our vineyards, we try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction, tannin or oak. Wines that are rich and full bodied whilst being fresh and lively with a good acidity and minerality. 2013 was a considerably cool year in the Douro producing wines with an excellent equilibrium. Well ripened fruit became more elegant as a result of the presence of fresh, floral aromas. On the palate the wine has plenty of depth, volume and an excellent acidity. The Quinta de la Rosa red 2013 is typical of the vintage: plenty of fruit, reasonably full bodied with a vibrant finish. Lively tannins means that the wine will age well in the bottle.
