Quinta de Tourais - Miura Tinto Bowie

This red Douro wine, a homage to David Bowie himself, is a blend primarily of Jaen and Alicante Bouschet grapes with a touch of Touriga Franca and old vine grapes thrown in for complexity. Sourced from schistose soils that experience harsh winters and hot, dry summers, the grapes are hand-harvested in early September. Vinification stays true to tradition, with fermentation occurring in stone lagares with indigenous yeasts and foot treading. Following fermentation, the wine spends 12 months aging in used French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and fragrant aroma with well-defined notes of black fruit, subtle earth tones, and seamlessly integrated oak. On the palate, it's elegant and fresh with balanced acidity and soft tannins, making for a truly captivating drinking experience.
