Quinta da Leda 2020

Produced using grapes from the best plots at Quinta da Leda. Harvested manually, these were selected on the vine and then sorted on arrival at the winery. After destemming and soft-crushing, the grapes proceeded to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place. A long and gentle maceration period followed, in order to extract the compounds that give this wine its colour, aroma and flavour. Matured in new (50%) and used (50%) French oak barrels for a period of roughly 18 months. The final blend was made following a careful selection process based on numerous tests and analysis during this time. In order to preserve the highest possible quality, the wine only underwent filtration prior to bottling.

Quinta da Leda is a superior quality wine that embodies the exclusive richness and contemporaneity of great Douro wines. Quinta da Leda is defined by its complexity and elegance: distinctive elements celebrated in the wines of Casa Ferreirinha, the brand with the biggest tradition of quality in the Douro and a reference of global renown.

A ruby colour of good depth, this wine has an aroma of great complexity with floral notes of violet, balsamic hints of cedar and tobacco box, splashes of red and black fruit, some minerality and a well-integrated wood element. Smooth on the palate, it has shapely tannins, a vibrant acidity and further notes of flowers and red fruit that invite an extremely elegant, harmonious finish.

This wine pairs wonderfully with meat dishes, game and cheeses.
