Quinta Vale Dona Maria, Vintage other_regions_australia The middle weight plus flavors

The middle weight plus flavors exude a beguiling inner mouth perfume and a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit-infused finish

the domain lost around 60% of the crop

it is given a Burgundian-like treatment of pre-fermentation cold maceration

Best of all

Quinta Vale Dona Maria, Vintage other_regions_australia The middle weight plus flavorsModerately saturated medium ruby. Aromas of black fruits, licorice, cocoa powder, herbs and mint. Supple and fruity, with attractive, sweet fruit of moderate depth and grip. Has decent length but the chewy tannins seem a bit strong for the wine's material. Stephen Tanzer
