Vinha dos Deuses Reserva 2017
Douro | Full-Bodied Red
Vinha dos Deuses Reserva 2017
Quinta dos Frades' brand, with winemaking by the highly esteemed Anselmo Mendes, this wine is an excellent representative of the fleshy Douro reds. Very aromatic of black fruits, some balsamic and toasted wood. Full-bodied, full of matter, but with excellent acidity to trim an alcoholic but not heavy set. A wine of impact!

The Maçanita brothers are a successful duo in the Douro with appealing wines, always at a great price.

Made of Touriga Nacional, the main red grape variety in Portugal, it brought the floral side of the variety to appear aromatic, delicate, with notes of red fruits and always very fresh.
