- Tasting Note:
The 2008 has a spectacularly dense colour with profound flavours of dark berries and herbaceous undertones. There is plenty of richness and volume on the palate, with a savoury character and mature tannins giving the wine an overall rounded, balanced flavour whilst maintaining its freshness. It finishes with fantastic length that lingers on the palate.

Claire Feuheerd received Quinta de la Rosa as a christening present in 1906. Today the estate is owned and run by her granddaughter Sophia Bergqvist alongside Sophia’s father, Tim. After a dormant period, Quinta de la Rosa ports were launched in 1988 and, then in the 1990s, the family were one of the driving forces behind quality table wine production in the Douro. The estate consists of 55 hectares of vineyards, which climb from the very edge of the river Douro up to 400 metres above sea level. Most lie on south-facing schistous terraces, and include old, low-yielding vines of over 50 years in age. The estate style is an intriguing balance of power and elegance.
