The Vino Tinto Quintela Colheita is an exquisite wine produced in the wine region of Douro, in Portugal, under the controlled designation of origin (DOC) Douro. This wine is named after Carlos Alonso winery, one of the most prominent wineries in the region.

The history of Carlos Alonso winery dates back several generations. From their humble beginnings as small grape producers, the Alonso family has maintained a commitment to preserving winemaking traditions and producing world-class wines. Over the years, they have gained extensive experience in vineyard cultivation and wine production, becoming a reference in the Douro region.

The Quintela Colheita is a wine that stands out for its elegance and complexity. It is mainly made from indigenous grape varieties from Douro, such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca. These grapes contribute a unique combination of aromas and flavors that reflect the richness and diversity of the Douro terroir.

The production of Quintela Colheita follows traditional and careful methods. The grapes are hand-harvested at the optimal ripeness and carefully transported to the winery. There, a careful selection of the grapes is made, eliminating those that do not meet the required quality standards.

After the selection, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to extract the must. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. Subsequently, the wine ages for a period of time in oak barrels, where it acquires greater complexity and structure.
