Quinta de Macedos Pinga do Torto 2004, Douro (6)
The Producer
In 1998, "Quinta de Macedos" was bought by Paul & Philippa Reynolds. It has 7 ha of old vines planted on ancient walled terraces. These vines are rooted deep in the schistous slopes, which fall away sharply to the River Torto ("Crooked River") in the valley below.
Unlike many other vineyards, Macedos escaped the mania of wholesale replanting in the 1980's and 90's and the vineyard. For this and the respectful way they handle the grapes their vineyard stands as a legacy of former times and practices. It is rare and worth preserving.
The Wine
Super lush dark black berry and plum fruits with taught structure and muscular density. Basically the second wine from the Macedos estate, this wine is emminently drinkable now. Plenty of length and power on the finish makes it perfect for BBQs and most red meats.
Single Bottle: £12.99
In a case of 12: £12.34
