Description
Quevedo Ruby Port is a blend of young and fresh Ports from different harvests, that aged without contact with oxygen.
Totally destemmed grapes, followed by a slow fermentation, with temperature control up to 28ºC degrees. Soft filtration.
It goes to bottle when is still young to preserve its red colour and fresh flavours do oxidize.
It may age in oak but if so it is for a short period time, no more than few years and almost always in oak vats of big capacity in order to reduce the influence of the oxygen in its ageing.
Quevedo Ruby Port has a red colour, predominant red fruit flavours. such as cherry, raspberry and redcurrant. In the mouth it is full bodied and dense with clear tannins with some fruity nuances, evocative of plum and black fruit jam.
Grapes / Varieties - Touriga Franca (30%), Tinta Roriz (25%),
Tinta Barroca (15%), Touriga Nacional (10%), Other (20%).
