2005 Vale da Clara, Douro Red Quinta de la Rosa

The Vale da Clara is fashioned in the same style as its more substantial sibbling, Quinta de la Rosa Red, yet with less oak (hence showing more purity of fruit) and a softer, more approachable character. This is a fresh, vibrant wine, oozing with redberry fruit, ideal for every day drinking and an excellent accompaniment to red meats in red sauce, or even chicken curries.
