Origin: Douro, Portugal Blend: Traditional port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca with some Sousão from the older dry stone terraced vineyards at La Rosa.
Producer's notes:
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: The Vintage will age well for many decades but can be appreciated when young. Drink as a digestif with cheese, chocolates or on its own. Remember to decant the port after it has thrown a deposit. This will happen after it has been in bottle a few years.
TASTING NOTES: Opaque colour. Very rich, dark chocolate aromas with some black cherry and mature fruit coming through. There is also a pleasing freshness to the port originating from its floral and cistus (rockrose) bouquet. The Quinta de la Rosa Vintage 2016 is a powerful wine with much potential but at the same time elegant and generous on the palate. Full of flavours, very complex with fine tannins that gives the wine a nobility and persistence. A great vintage made to give pleasure now and in the next few decades.
**Please be aware that with all vintage ports (and older wines), the natural corks may crumble if using a regular corkscrew. Please use proper uncorking tools such as port tongs or for wine, an AH So. Sediment will settle in the bottle over time therefore decanting the port prior to serving will remove this deposit.**
