Tasting Notes Deep intense garnet colour, very intense aromas of red fruits with undertones of toasted sour cherry. Very ample in the mouth, with great body and structure, the palate is fresh and elegant.
Harvest Report 2008 produced low crop yields and mild temperatures prevailed, both during summer and at harvest time. Grape maturation took much longer than usual, especially where Touriga Franca grapes were concerned, and the harvest began a fortnight later. The crop yielded sound grapes with good concentration and freshness, which ultimately produced exceedingly appealing wines. Given its acknowledged ageing potential, the 2008 Duas Quintas Reserva Red is a classic.
Wine Making Grapes from Quinta de Ervamoira and Quinta dos Bons Ares estates were manually harvested from carefully selected vineyards. Vinification took place in small-sized stainless steel vats and in granite presses. A month later the wine was removed from the vats and the grape mass was pressed in a vertical wine press. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels (including new and one fill barrels) and 6200 litre casks, both of French oak. Ageing in wood for 18 months.
Food Matching We recommend that you pair the Duas Quintas Reserva 2008 with richly flavoured dishes, and game. It pairs well with soft and pasty sheep's milk cheeses.
Recommendations: To be served at 16-18 ºc
Alergy Advice: Contains Sulphites
