The Quinta dos Termos Tinto D.O.C. is a wine produced in the D.O.C. Beira Interior region, sub-region Cova da Beira, from the traditional grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Tinta Roriz, and Jaen. The grapes come from granitic soils with low fertility, which promotes slow and balanced maturation, thanks to the summer climate of the region. This wine is an excellent example of balance between freshness, flavor, and great gastronomic potential.The grapes are hand-harvested in 15 kg boxes, followed by full destemming and gentle crushing. After fermentation, the wine undergoes prolonged maceration and partial aging in new French oak barrels. The clarification is natural, aided by the intense cold of Serra da Estrela.This wine features a very intense red color with bluish hues, ensuring its longevity. The nose reveals red fruit aromas, with pleasant vanilla notes. On the palate, it offers good volume, firm and smooth tannins, and a strong structure.It should be served between 16-18°C and pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled meats, oven-roasted sausages, and pasta with tomato sauce.
