<p>Quinta de Ferradosa Douro Tinto is a wine that shows a very concentrated nose with some freshness. In the mouth there is a lot of red fruit like strawberries and raspberries alloted to floral notes. The tannins are well present, and bring to the wine a striking structure. The balance of the wine is given by a marked freshness, making this Quinta da Ferradosa a very elegant wine.</p>

<p>Casa da Esteira Touriga Nacional Red Wine presents young aroma, fruity without excesses, hints of oak together with light floral and vegetal notes. In the mouth it shows a restrained style, young, with structure and tannins to last for a long time. A Touriga more fruity than floral</p>
