Manoella Tinto 2017
Descripción
En el viñedo viejo de la Quinta da Manoella se plantaron vides que actualmente tiene unos 35 años, se trata por tanto de una nueva parcela que marca el rumbo de las nuevas generaciones y define el futuro del Vale do Pinhão. Estamos ante un blend muy equilibrado con las variedades Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz y Tinta Francisca, que se elabora con pisado tradicional en lagares de granito. Resulta un tinto encantador, lleno de fruta roja y negra y chocolate. Sabroso y con taninos envolventes.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2017 Tinto Quinta da Manoella is mostly a 60/25 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with Tinta Roriz and Tinta Francisca filling out the blend. It was aged for 16 months in used French oak and comes in at 14% alcohol. This was a tank sample when seen in Portugal last June. It is now in the USA. This seems a bit richer in fruit intensity than the 2016 also reviewed this issue, but mostly it is younger and a little less developed. Once past that burst of concentrated fruit, this maintains the style of the brand—elegant, with fairly ripe tannins. It is not quite as ready to drink as the 2016, though. It really needs a year in the cellar. For the moment, this seems to be just a little better. I would expect that conclusion to be even clearer around 2022 as both wines develop. This is a nice value.

Bom. Não deixa memórias mas é um bom vinho
Bien para acompañar algo de embutido o aves.
Un gran Douro.A la altura de los Riberas españoles.
