Quinta de La Rosa Vale do Inferno DOC 2021

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

On the nose the Vale do Inferno is very distinct and serious, with a focus on fruit, showing raspberries and forest strawberries, all balanced by light yet austere undertones. An intense and succulent wine, full of nice flavours, with very smooth and fresh tannins giving it it a juicy finish.

100% Touriga Nacional from the famed Vale do Inferno vineyard, right by the river. Foot trodden in granite lagares for an evening before being tranferred to stainless-steel vats for fermentation. Matured for 18 months in new (40%) and used (60%) French oak casks. Bottled in November 2023.

La Rosa’s vines rise dramatically out of the river with the imposing Vale do Inferno vineyard, and climb steadily upwards to top out at 5oom with Lamelas, whose magnificent views overlook the very heart of the region. The estate’s grapes are category A – the very best the Douro has to offer. Schist soil along with the extremely varied topography enable rich, full bodied wines to have remarkable acidity, minerality, and freshness. And it is this for which La Rosa has become renown; elegant wines that express terroir in bottle without too much extraction, tannin, oak. 100% of the grapes come from the Vale do Inferno vineyard which was built by Albert over a century ago.

Vale do Inferno was replanted in 2006.

Never one to rest on her laurels, Sophia Bergqvist has invested significantly over the last few years at La Rosa with the construction of a new winery. New granite lagares, fermentation tanks and an automatic basket press have been purchased, a carefully thought out tasting room overlooking the Douro River has been constructed, an extensive area for entertaining has been created, as well as a number of apartments and guest rooms built to develop the tourism side of the business. You can’t help but be impressed with the scale of this project and admire Sophia Bergqvist’s vision for this family Quinta, whilst she has maintained the integrity of the old building and the charm of a family estate in the Douro.
