The Quintela Ruby Port Wine is an oenological treasure that comes from the Carlos Alonso winery, located in the Douro region in Portugal. This designation of origin is famous for its fortified wines and Port is one of the most recognized worldwide.
The Carlos Alonso winery, founded in the 19th century, is one of the most prestigious in the Douro region. Located in a mountainous region with terraces that follow the curves of the Douro River, the winery benefits from a unique microclimate that favors the cultivation of the grapes used in the production of Port wine.
The Quintela Ruby Port Wine is mainly made from two grape varieties: Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca. These native grapes are the most cultivated in the Douro region and contribute particular characteristics to the wine. Touriga Nacional is known for its aromatic intensity and tannic structure, while Touriga Franca brings elegance and balance with the other varieties Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca.
The process of making Quintela Ruby Port Wine is meticulous and requires experience and patience. After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented for a short period of time to extract the flavors and natural sugars. Then, grape brandy is added to stop the fermentation and preserve the residual sugars, which contributes to its characteristic sweetness.
The wine is aged in oak barrels for a variable period of time, depending on the desired style. In the case of Quintela Ruby Port Wine, the goal is to highlight its youth and freshness, so barrel aging is limited to a few years. This allows the wine to maintain its intense red color and fruity, vibrant character.
The Carlos Alonso winery takes pride in its tradition and dedication to producing quality wines. Its vineyards are carefully cultivated and a rigorous winemaking process is followed to ensure excellence in every bottle. In addition to Quintela Ruby, the winery also produces other styles of Port, such as Tawny, Late Bottled Vintage (LBV), and Vintage, each with their unique characteristics.
