Quintela Reserva Red Wine

Quintela Reserva red wine is a wine gem that comes from the prestigious wine-growing region of the DOC Douro, in Portugal. Behind this exquisite drink is the Carlos Alonso winery, a name that has earned a prominent place in the Portuguese wine scene.

The history of the Carlos Alonso winery goes back several generations. Since its beginnings, the Alonso family has been dedicated to viticulture and has transmitted its passion and knowledge from generation to generation. With a combination of tradition and modernity, the winery has managed to maintain excellence in wine production, as demonstrated by the Quintela Reserva Red Wine.

Quintela Reserva Red Wine is made from a careful selection of grapes from the Carlos Alonso winery's own vineyards in the Douro region. The grape varieties used in this wine are mainly Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. These native grapes are characterized by their aromatic intensity and their ability to age elegantly, attributes that are reflected in the distinctive character of Quintela Reserva Red Wine.

The production of this wine begins with the manual harvest of the grapes at the optimal moment of maturity. Then, a careful selection of the clusters is carried out, discarding those that do not meet the required quality standards. The selected grapes are destemmed and undergo controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where the characteristic aromas and flavors of the varieties used are extracted.

Subsequently, the wine goes through a period of aging in French oak barrels, where it acquires complexity and smoothness. Barrel aging allows flavors and aromas to integrate and develop, giving Quintela Reserva Red Wine its distinctive personality.
