Douro DOC Vale do Corgo Reserva 2018 Vila Real

The Vale do Corgo Reserva red wine is produced by the Vila Real winery, located in the district of the same name in the Douro Valley.

The wine comes from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz grapes harvested by hand, destemmed and pressed. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated steel tanks, with prolonged maceration, while the malolactic fermentation takes place in French and American oak barrels, with subsequent aging in French and American oak barrels for 12 months.

Ruby red in color with garnet hues, aromas of ripe red and black fruit, cherry, currant, blackberry and blueberry are perceived on the nose as well as hints of spices and vanilla deriving from aging in wood. The sip is intense and soft, with a long persistence.

Perfect with grilled red meats, roast lamb and smoked meats.
