Roquette & Cazes Douro Tinto 2022
Roquette & Cazes Douro Tinto, born from the collaboration between Jorge Roquette, proprietor of Quinta do Crasto, and Jean-Charles Cazes, co-owner of Château Lynch-Bages, seamlessly melds Bordeaux winemaking expertise with the distinct character of the Douro region. This exceptional wine showcases a remarkable intensity of vibrant red fruit flavours interwoven with subtle hints of delicate spices, all held together by an impressive structure characterised by luxuriously smooth tannins.
Tasting Notes
Very dark core with bright violet/purple rim colour. Aroma of fresh wild fruits, and violets, with a soft toasty hint from the wood ageing, evoking cocoa. Full bodied, refreshing acidity, black fruits, and silky round tannins that complements the wine’s structure. Very long and complex, with real elegance.
Blend: Touriga Nacional | Touriga Franca | Tinta Roriz
