Quinta Vale D. Maria ( Quinta Vale Dona Maria )
Vinha Da Francisca Douro
All the benefits of a big wine.....dark fruit, anise, mint, cedar, but balanced by a streak of slate and zero unnecessary weight. Unbelievably silky mouthfeel. Find some.

Feb 22nd, 2016Damn damn damn. If you can get your hands on one of these do it stat. Amazinggggggg. The douro grape is amazing that we had with cacio e pepe. A red when poured that when you look at it you know this is going to take you to another place. When you take that first sip, the taste of freshness. Seriously I could drink this all night

Oct 31st, 202117.5/20 (93/100) Аромат чёрного шоколада, ванили, спелых ягод черники и ежевики, чернослива и метола. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, бархатистыми по текстуре танинами. Выраженная шоколадная горчинка во вкусе. Отлично!

Apr 10th, 2019GL Portugal tasting 2/15/17. Nose more fruit forward with red berries and some earthiness. Body that's balanced and complex and medium with good length. Lingering fruits and minerals. 9.2. 6 varietals. Toriga mostly. Found that growing then together leave too uniform maturation and fermented all together
