Vallado 2024

Quinta do Vallado, established in 1716, is one of the oldest and most famous estates in the Douro Valley.

It is located on the banks of the Corgo River, a tributary of the Douro River, right next to its mouth and close to the town of Peso da Régua.

It belonged to the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains to this day in the hands of her descendants.

Appearance: Deep ruby color with purple highlights, bright and expressive at first glance.

Nose: Intense and fruity nose dominated by ripe red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant), enhanced by delicate floral notes (violet) and soft spices. 

Palate: Lively and structured attack with juicy, concentrated fruit. The tannins are ripe and well-balanced, supported by fresh acidity, while spicy nuances and slight minerality extend the finish.

Food Pairing: Excellent with grilled red meats, roasted lamb, Portuguese stews or aged cheeses — its structure stands up well to rich dishes.

Serving Temperature: Serve between 16 °C and 18 °C to reveal its full aromatic palette and freshness.
