This is made from the same varieties which would be used for Port production, but from sites more suitable for table wines. Imagine a fine Port, but dry and with lower alcohol: all the notes are here; tobacco, liquorice, plum, cinnamon. Delicious, heady and evocative.
Full & bold.
Touriga Nacional (60%) and Touriga Franca (12%) with 8% Tinta Roriz, 5% Sousão and the rest (5%).

Ready, but will keep,
As dark in colour as it is in nature this Red from the Douro valley has a nose reminiscent of the Port grape varieties it is made from. The nose is rich with dark berry fruit with an appealing herbal note and the palate reveals a great concentration of blackberry and blueberry fruit followed by violets, wood smoke and bitter chocolate. The use of French oak gives body and depth and the wine has a lovely fresh acidity which keeps everything in balance. A true testimony to the quality of wine making at Quinta de la Rosa. Perfect for rich stews, grilled meats or roast venison.

For laying down,
Quinta de la Rosa has beautiful terraced A–graded vineyards just behind Pinhão in the heart of the Cima Corgo. Over the last few years the wining team of owner Sophia Bergqvist and winemaker Jorge Moreira have maintained the Quinta’s reputation for elegance of style, whilst adding another dimension of gravitas, nowhere better illustrated than by the 2011 vintage. Indeed Sophia is convinced that it will be their best ever and the evidence from the glass is persuasive. The blend is dominated by equal shares of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca with a little Souzão (as they spell it here it seems) added for good measure. Crushed blueberry, dark cherry, cloves and spice all presage a wine of extraordinary quality and unprecedented capacity to age.

Quinta de La Rosa is a small estate in the heart of the Port wine-growing region in Alto Douro, near Pinhao, owned and operated by the Bergqvist family: Tim, his wife Patricia, son Philip and his two daughters, Sophia and Olivia, with the aid of the talented winemaker Jorge Moreira since 2002
The Quinta and its vineyards were given to Tim's mother as a Christening present by her parents, the Feurheerds, who established the property in 1906.
It remains one of the few Single Quintas where the vineyards start at the bank of the Douro and rise 450 meters to the towering top of the mountain. From the river's edge to the top, one passes through 11 different microclimates. This gives La Rosa great flexibility to add variety and complexity to its Port.
La Rosa and Tim Berqgvist are special. In many ways they represent what the Douro is all about... pride, courage, tradition, and the determination to produce the finest product from in one of natures' most difficult climactic conditions.
Quinta de la Rosa produces small quantities of superb quality Ports and red wine (Val da Clara Douro label)
