GRAPE GROWING AND WINEMAKING<\/strong>
\nThe grapes of Roquette & Cazes 2012 come from the two original vineyards located in different parts of the Douro valley: the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior, which are planted separately. Harvest occurred at an optimal stage of maturity. Grapes were carried into Quinta do Crasto\u2019s winery in 25 kg boxes. After a rigorous selection, stalks were removed and grapes were crushed and transferred into controlled temperature stainless steel conic shaped vats. Then, a long maceration period took place using \u201cdelestage\u201d, an alternative French technique to the classic pumping over method. This helps keeping the identity of the wines from the Douro by reducing their hardiness and increasing their elegance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AGEING<\/strong>
\n18 months in French oak barrels (70% new and 30% one year of use).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WINEMAKERS<\/strong>
\nDaniel Llose (Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages) and Manuel Lobo (Quinta do Crasto).<\/p>\n

TASTING NOTES<\/strong>
\nColour:<\/strong> deep violet.
\nNose:<\/strong> great aromatic complexity with aromas of well integrated fresh berries as well as violet and spicy notes.
\nPalate:<\/strong> elegant beginning that leads way to a voluminous wine with a solid structure of sweet, finely textured tannins. A complex wine, with pleasant berry fruit flavours, and a balanced, lingering finish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SERVING SUGGESTIONS<\/strong>
\nDecant and serve it at 16 \u00baC. The wine is ready to drink. It\u2019s a good match for savoury meat and game dishes, as well as elaborate Italian food.
\nIdeal consumption:<\/strong> 2013-2026<\/p>\n
