Quinta do Pessegueiro Douro DOC Portugal Red 2016
36.80 €
Tax included
This 2016 vintage from Quinta do Pessegueiro is a red wine from Portugal from the Douro appellation (DOC), made from a blend of the Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca grape varieties with 40% old vines for half each, planted on schist soils.
It offers a beautiful bright ruby red colour, with a nose of black fruits, chocolate, tea and spices. On the palate, a great freshness perfectly balances the wine, well structured with well-present but fine tannins and a persistent finish with notes of undergrowth. A beautiful Portuguese wine from the Douro that will be accompanied by dishes of braised beef or in sauce, or powerful cheeses.
