Christie's 2015 Quinta Dona Mafalda Vinhas Velhas Red (Douro) punctuated with 91Points - Editors’ Choice!
“With its 60% Touriga Nacional, this wine has rich, wood-aged perfumed fruit. Black plums and berries come through the tannins and spice to give a ripe character to this big-hearted wine.”
Ancestral traditions house, Quinta Dona Mafalda is located on the left bank of the Douro River, in the territory of Alto Douro Vinhateiro, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
And it is here that all the magic begins, with the river Douro as a backdrop and a hill that, bathed by the sun, fills our generous energy shale soil, thus enriching the noble grape varieties, planted in about seven hectares.
