Vale D. Maria Douro Vinhas do Sabor Red 2020

Founded in 1996 by winemaker and charismatic storyteller Cristiano van Zeller, Quinta Vale D. Maria is one of the Douro’s most prestigious producers. One of the founders of the Douro Boys, Quinta Vale D. Maria was a pioneer in combining traditional techniques with modern winemaking practices, while communicating and promoting the Douro region worldwide. This vineyard, the Quinta Vale do Sabor is situated in one of the most special valleys of this region. This Quinta distinguishes itself because of the Sabor river, where the valley is closed in, and where it's planted grape varieties such as Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alicante Bouschet  and Baga.

Tasting Notes

Vale D. Maria Vinhas do Sabor is very concentrated and fresh. Lively, it strikes, on the nose, for the exuberance of very present fruit, such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. With a floral touch, this wine has a long and fresh finish.
