Description
Quevedo Alegra Reserve Red 2023, Douro DOC
The Quevedo Alegra Red 2023 is a vibrant and expressive Douro DOC wine, showcasing the region’s ability to produce reds of both depth and freshness. Crafted from traditional Portuguese varieties, it reflects the balance between ripe fruit, floral elegance and subtle oak influence that defines modern Douro winemaking.
The nose is pronounced and inviting, with aromas of wild blackberry, cherry and ripe black plum. Floral notes of violet, characteristic of Touriga Nacional, add lift and refinement, while gentle oak ageing contributes layers of clove and black pepper, enhancing the wine’s aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the wine is dry and well-balanced, with firm yet well-integrated tannins supporting a medium-bodied structure. The fruit profile remains generous and clearly defined, while the oak sits neatly in the background, adding depth without overpowering the wine’s natural character.
Fresh acidity brings energy and precision, keeping the wine lively and ensuring excellent balance. This freshness is a hallmark of the Douro’s higher-altitude vineyards, allowing richness and elegance to coexist seamlessly.
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, subtle spice and a gentle savoury edge. Approachable now yet with the structure to develop further, this is a refined and versatile Douro red that offers both immediate appeal and complexity.
