\n\t\telegant and refined<\/span>Boa-Vista Reserva Tinto<\/h1>\n\t<\/div> [vc_custom_heading text=”Terroir” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”][vc_column_text]Located near Pinh\u00e3o, on the right bank of the Douro river, Quinta da Boavista has an extraordinary view over the river. It is one of the most iconic estates in the demarcated region, known not only for its historical connection with the Baron of Forrester, but also for its 36 hectares of high-quality vines.
\nThis Boa-Vista Red Reserva wine reflects the combination of various micro-terroirs. Different grape varieties, different ages, different altitudes and sunlight exposures are expressed in a unique way, making this a versatile wine, unique in character, longevity and elegance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597419209625{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}” el_id=”castas”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597419346076{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Grape Varieties” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″]\n\t\n\t\n\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/quintadaboavista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/group-9-3.svg\" "\\"group-9\\"")

Touriga Nacional is a dark-skinned grape variety that is a key ingredient in both dry red wines and fortified wines (Port) with a wide presence in the Douro region. Displays bold dark-fruit flavors, commonly accompanied by hints of spice, violet and leather. Its firm tannins makes it relevant as a varietal wine.<\/p>\n
Secondly, Touriga Franca is also one the traditional grape varieties from the Douro Region. More aromatic and lighter in body, it is slightly less concentrated and has higher yields than the flagship Portuguese variety. Touriga Franca is really high in tannins with an exquisite perfume of fresh, ripe red fruits, spices and flower.<\/p>\n
Tinto C\u00e3o is a grape variety dating back to the region\u2019s origins. Throughout the years, it has been proven that this variety is better suited to the region\u2019s fronts with less sun exposure. The cooler climate allows the variety\u2019s floral aromas to showcase. With lighter coloured wines, despite its dark skins, it has good levels of acidity and tannins.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597418731402{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4869″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597312056368{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”testbg”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597311243956{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”5830″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597311229985{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Vinification” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”][vc_column_text read_more=”yes”]To ensure the prevalence of the variety\u2019s characteristics and the full control of the process, at Quinta da Boavista we use manual harvesting and manual grape sorting processes, followed by a gentle berry de-stalk and crush. As fermentation reservoirs we have the traditional granite wine presses with foot treading, stainless steel fermentation vats and, for small batches, PVC food containers or fermentation in new 500 litre French wooden barrels. Each of these types of fermentation gives the wine a unique style and personality.<\/p>\n
After aging in 500 liter barrels for 15 to 20 months we create the Reserva blend. All our wines are sealed under natural cork. This wine is not filtered or cold-stabilized and that is why it can produce a sediment with age.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597415717043{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}” el_id=”product-specifications”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bottom-detail-bg”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”testbg”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1599754886138{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_text]Vibrant ruby in colour.
