Tasting Notes

Quinta dos Roques is a 3rd generation small family owned winery. Only working with their own traditional grape varieties to make traditional Portuguese blends.

Quinta Dos Roques Encruzado 2015 (2 Btl)
The Encruzado grape is native to the Dao region and is highly regarded as one of Portugal's hidden treasures especially if you like ripe white Burgundy. Complex rich and textured. Orchard fruits on the nose with a mineral undertone and honeyed notes. As the wine opens up expect a floral herbaceous characteristic with honeysuckle melon notes and excellent acidity on the long complex finish.

Quinta do Correio 2017 (2 Btl)
The perfect introduction to the Dao. A blend of
Jaen (40%), Touriga Nacional (25%), Alfrocheiro (20%), Tinta Roriz (15%). Ageing: in stainless steel vats with only 10% of oak barrel aged wine added to the final blend to imprint a little bit more structure. a perfectly clear dark ruby colour, brilliant, with an intense fruity bouquet, with wild berries and pine needle notes. On the palate it is very supple with soft tannins and a nice finish.

Quinta Dos Roques red 2016 (2 Btl)
A field blend of Touriga Nacional (45%), Jaen (20%), Alfrocheiro (20%), Tinta Roriz (10%) and Tinto Cão (5%). Aged in French oak barrels of 225 L for 8 months aged a further year in bottle. brilliant, with an intense fruity floral bouquet reminding wild blackcurrants, pine leaves and spice, with vanilla notes given by the oak. On the palate it is very generous, good structure with a fresh mid palate and a long dry finish. Wonderful ageing potential.
