Tasting Notes
The terroir in the Douro is still largely unexplored and by making wines with,harmony and equilibrium from our vineyards, we try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle.  The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction, tannin or oak.  Wines that are rich and full bodied whilst being fresh and lively with a good acidity and minerality.

The La Rosa Reserve 2012 has a concentration and opulence that is ‘hidden’ by very fresh aromas of red fruits, floral elements and a touch of toasted notes that is typical of wines from Quinta de la Rosa.

On the palate, the wine is full bodied with seductive, soft tannins and a excellent freshness.  It is a Douro wine but much more elegant than usual but at the same time with a richness and complexity that has become famous in this region.  Still very young it will improve greatly from some bottle ageing.
