Tasting Notes
The FozTua winery stands next to the Tua railway station, where passion and the legacy of the Douro Cima Corgo come together. It is also the winery screen-printed on this Reserva’s label.
In 2021, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz were hand-picked on 3 September into 20 kg crates and foot-trodden in granite lagares. After fermenting in stainless steel vats, the wine spent 18 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.
Red fruit sits comfortably alongside the balsamic notes of the barrel. It is full-bodied, firm and ripe, with silky tannins and a long, persistent finish. Drink now or let it develop in the bottle. Serve between 16 ºC and 18 ºC.
