The terroir in the Douro is still largely unexplored and by making wines with harmony and equilibrium from our vineyards, we try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction, tannin or oak. Wines that are rich and full bodied whilst being fresh and lively with a good acidity and minerality.
The La Rosa 2014 red has lots of deep, luscious black fruit, bramble and dark chocolate aromas. On the palate the wine is dense, deep, profound and well structured compare to 2013 but still with great freshness, vibrancy and acidity. Good tannin and grip that is well integrated. The wine can be drunk now but is still young and will age well in the next decade.
