Quinta do Quetzal Familia Red 2017 is an outstanding expression of the estate's unwavering commitment to excellence, crafted from a meticulous blend of Alicante Bouschet and Syrah.
Produced only in exceptional vintages, this iconic wine hails from Vinha das Pedras. The grapes were hand-harvested and de-stemmed before fermentation in French oak vats with indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine aged for 36 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, with an additional 24 months in bottle. This careful aging process imparts a deep, dark garnet colour and an intricate bouquet of dark chocolate, black cherry, and subtle oak spices.
On the palate, Quinta do Quetzal Familia Red 2017 reveals a full-bodied, well-structured character with smooth, polished tannins and a lingering, balanced finish. The wine’s rich fruit flavours and elegant complexity make it a superb pairing for hearty dishes such as game meats, rich stews, and aged cheeses.
Quinta do Quetzal Familia Red 2017 epitomizes the pinnacle of our winemaking, offering a truly distinctive and memorable experience for those who appreciate the artistry of fine wine and seek to enjoy a unique representation of the estate’s heritage.
