<p>Soulmate Rosé presents a salmon color. It boasts a complex and intense aroma, where notes of green raspberry and bitter cherry stand out prominently. This wine is elegant, fine, bright, intense, and perfectly balances acidity with hints of wood. It concludes with a long, fresh, and persistent finish.</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta da Pacheca is one of the best known estates in the Douro region and also one of the first properties to bottle wine under its own label. It is first mentioned in a document dated April 1738 but it was only in 1903, when Dom José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his interest in oenology, began to seriously dedicate himself to the risky business of winemaking. Today, a century and many successes later, a brand-new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family</p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Quinta Nova Reserva Touriga Nacional Red Wine has a deep colour and the dense, fresh scents of the Touriga Nacional awaken our senses. The varietal aromas either send us to the delicacy of violets or show us orange blossom mixed with wild fruits - blueberries and blackberries - in a perfect, harmonious symbiosis.</p> <p>In the mouth, the silky textures stand out where, layer after layer of black fruit, we notice the succulence of tannins well matured by time. Then there's the nerve of the schist geology and the climate where the intense sun rips through the dewy dawns.</p> <p>Touriga Nacional also speaks to us of the freshness and minerality of wet stone, where we are lulled by the sensations of fruit and white spice in a long and precise farewell.</p>
