Avidagos Reserva Tinto Douro DOC 75 cl
Avidagos Reserva Tinto Douro DOC from Quinta dos Avidagos is a Portuguese red wine from the Douro, vinified from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. The cuvée combines classic Douro grape varieties with ripe dark fruit, integrated tannins and fine toasted aromas. Following temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, intense notes of ripe berries and dark fruits such as blackcurrants, blackberries, cherries and plums unfold. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, with pleasantly integrated tannins, fruit, toasted aromas and a finish showing nuances of chocolate, tobacco and dark fruit.
Producer: Quinta dos Avidagos
Quinta dos Avidagos is located in the Douro region of Portugal, near Santa Marta de Penaguião. The estate is family-owned and has a long tradition of viticulture. The family’s history is closely linked to several quintas in the Douro, whose sites are shaped by steep slopes, schist and granite soils, and the River Douro. In the past, the grapes were traditionally sold to Port houses before the estate began developing its own wine production in 1996. Today, Quinta dos Avidagos combines several Douro sites with modern cellar technology and traditional elements such as working with granite lagares. The focus is on wines made from indigenous Portuguese grape varieties that combine fruit, structure and expression of origin.
