Tasting Notes / Description

This Quinta Alta QALT Reserva Red 2022 presents a deep red color with purple nuances, symbolizing intensity and depth. Its bouquet unfolds aromas of ripe fruits such as plum, which harmoniously integrate, increasing complexity as it evolves in the glass. Dry and vigorous, the wine boasts a well-defined structure complemented by balanced acidity, smooth texture, and overall harmony that delights the palate.

Notes of overripe cherries and raspberry jam enrich the mid-palate, providing richness and amplitude, while balsamic touches and softly integrated tannins enhance the experience. The finish is notably long and satisfying, reflecting the distinctive character of a classic Douro blend that promises not only to withstand time but also to exceed expectations with its structure and intensity. This wine is a true expression of winemaking art, crafted to leave a lasting impression.

Additional information

Quinta Alta QALT Reserva Red 2022

The harvest of Quinta Alta QALT Reserva Red 2022 was meticulously carried out by hand on September 18, 2019, using crates with a maximum capacity of 20kg to ensure the grapes’ integrity. Once in the winery, the grapes underwent rigorous manual selection.

After destemming, they were directed to lagares (traditional stone tanks) where temperature was carefully controlled, both for maceration and pre-fermentation treading, aiming to extract the best aromas and flavors.

Alcoholic fermentation took place over 7 days under optimal conditions.

Regarding maturation, a small fraction of the wine, 5%, rested in French and American oak barrels with medium toast for 14 months, enriching the aromatic and structural profile of the wine. It’s important to highlight that 100% of the wine completed malolactic fermentation, contributing to its smoothness and complexity. From harvest to bottling, the wine developed over 19 months. In December 2018, batches were selected for the unique blend composition, followed by an additional 5 months’ aging in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the perfect integration of the wine’s characteristics before finalization.
