Description

The 2017 is young and full of energy. There is a purity in the wine, good acidity and complex flavours coming from the quality of the maturation of the grapes. Pretty floral notes and good freshness and vibrant acidity mean that the wine is pleasant to drink now but will also age well.

Quinta de La Rosa

Quinta de la Rosa was purchased in 1906 as a christening present for Claire Bergqvist (the current owner’s, Sophia, grandmother). The estate sold the grapes they grew to winemakers. Sophia and her father Tim relaunched Quinta de la Rosa in 1988 and started making port under their own label and soon after they produced their first wine. With the help of winemaker David Baverstock, La Rosa became one of the pioneers in producing Douro table wine using indigenous port grapes.

Douro Valley

The Douro Valley, located in northern Portugal, is a historic and renowned wine region known for its exceptional Port and table wines. Recognised as one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world, it was officially regulated in 1756. The valley's dramatic landscape, characterised by steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River, creates a unique terroir that is ideal for viticulture.
The area is particularly famous for its Port wines, which range from rich and robust Vintage Ports to smooth and sweet Tawny Ports, crafted from indigenous grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. It also produces high-quality red and white table wines, with rich, full-bodied reds and aromatic whites from local varieties such as Touriga Franca and Viosinho. The combination of historical winemaking traditions and modern practices makes the Douro Valley a compelling and storied wine region.
