Roquette & Cazes Douro DOC 2022

60% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 15% Tinta Roriz

A cooperative project between Chateau Lynch Bages (Bordeaux, France) and Roquette family from Quinta do Crasto in Portugal.  Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel conic vats. Rack and return is performed during fermentation.  This is followed by post-fermentation skin maceration, which allows for a very gentle extraction and a final refinement of the wine's texture. The result is a concentrated, complex wine that is also elegant and stylish.  

Deep ruby in colour. The nose stands out for its intensity and aroma complexity, showing vibrant notes of fresh red fruits and delicate hints of fine spice. The palate begins with elegance, revealing a wine with a robust and well-defined structure, supported by silky-textured tannins. The finish is fresh and long lingering. 14% ABV
