Quintela Colheita Red Wine

Quintela Colheita Red Wine is an exquisite wine produced in the Douro wine region of Portugal, under the Douro Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC).

This wine is named after the Carlos Alonso winery, one of the most outstanding wineries in the region.

The history of the Carlos Alonso winery goes back several generations.

From their humble beginnings as small grape growers, the Alonso family has maintained a commitment to preserving winemaking traditions and producing world-class wines.

Over the years, they have acquired extensive experience in vineyard cultivation and winemaking, becoming a benchmark in the Douro region.

Quintela Colheita is a wine distinguished by its elegance and complexity.

It is made mainly with grapes from the Douro's native varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca.

These grapes give the wine a unique combination of aromas and flavors, reflecting the richness and diversity of the Douro terroir.

The production of Quintela Colheita is carried out following traditional and careful methods.

The grapes are hand-harvested at the optimal moment of 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 selection, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to extract the must.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, which allows the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes to be preserved.

Subsequently, the wine ages for a period of time in oak barrels, where it acquires greater complexity and structure.
