2011 Tinto, Quinta do Vale Meão

2011 Tinto, Quinta do Vale Meão

Ref: MEAO110
Red  |  Still  |  14.5% ABV

The 300 hectare property was purchased in 1877 unplanted, by the famous Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira - whose descendants now run Vale Meao - and was transformed by hundreds of workers into the 'chateau' and vineyards by 1894. Whilst Vale Meão concentrates mainly on wine production, they also make a small quantity of outstanding port wine. Vale Meão vintage port was first made in the wonderful 2000 vintage, and is made, unusually, more years than not.

Tasting Notes

"Dark, spicy and rocky. Scented on the mid palate with Touriga’s floral character but dominated by dry power and firm but dry and very elegant tannins. Restrained in flavour for a 2011 but with controlled power." Julia Harding MW

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
