What to Expect

Touriga Nacional is the primary grape used in the production of Port wines. It is increasingly being bottled as a dry red wine and produces a rich, slightly rustic wine that has a deep earthy core of blackberry and mulberry fruit balanced by aromas of flowers, tobacco and rosemary.

Winemakers Notes

This wine is made from traditional port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz. La Rosa Douro Tinto comes from mainly the Lamelas vineyard at La Rosa. The vineyard, planted by Tim Bergqvist, is over 20 years old. The wine was matured in Allier French oak casks, mainly Francois Freres, Taransaud and Seguin Moreau, for 12 months before being bottled in Autumn 2007. The wine has all the usual Douro characteristics but is lighter and fresher in style with less overpowering density. On the nose, it is pretty, fragrant and aromatic. Lovely red fruit flavours read more...come through especially strawberries, raspberries and white cherry with a subtle touch of lime. The wine is medium bodied, very elegant with a round, balanced structure. The La Rosa 06 is very beguiling and attractive. La Rosa Douro Tinto is ready for drinking but can also be aged. Serve at cellar temperature with any meat dish or cheese.    (hide)
