Updated 40 days ago
QUINTA DO VALLADO Vilarinho dos Freires, 5050-364 Peso da Régua - Portugal
A rare red because it is only declared in exceptional years and available when all three great-great-great-grandsons agree that Adelaide is ready for the world's palates...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate had this to say about the first vintage (2005): "The new Adelaide is very fine and a future superstar bottling"...
ADELAIDE comes from a plot of very old vines (some over a hundred years old), with a blend of over 30 different varieties, with the following predominating: Touriga Franca, Rufete, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barrroca, Tinta Nascida, Malvasia Preta, Mourisco, Bastardo, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Bairrada, Tinta da Barca, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Carvalha, Moscatel de Hamburgo, Tinta Pomar, Piriquita, Moreto, Sultanina, S. Saúl, Casculho and Preto Martinho.
