Quinta da Pacheca Reserva Vinhas Velhas Red Wine is an intense and deep wine

Quinta da Pacheca is one of the best known estates in the Douro region and also one of the first properties to bottle wine under its own label. It is first mentioned in a document dated April 1738 but it was only in 1903, when Dom José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his interest in oenology, began to seriously dedicate himself to the risky business of winemaking. Today, a century and many successes later, a brand-new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family

The grapes were completely destemed and slightly crushed. After this the must was transferred to the stone tanks (lagares) were the grapes were foot trodden and fermented 10 days

It shows a complex aroma, with fruit and the oak very well integrated and revealing spicy nuances. Intense and deep on the palate. The firm tannic structure gives great balance to the wine with a long and a gourmand finish
