Berry Bros. & Rudd St James's Finest Reserve Port by Quinta de la Rosa

Description

The cheapest style of port but made one of the Douro Valley’s smaller producers, Quinta de la Rosa, there’s not a shortage of class. Spicy but mellow on the palate, floral and aromatic. With its ripe dark fruit and subtle spicing, it comes across like a younger softer vintage port.

Rating: 4/5

Henry Jeffreys, Wine Expert, BBC Good Food

Owned and run by the Bergqvist family, Quinta de la Rosa is blessed with vineyards of spectacular quality, leading to an impressive range of Ports and still wines.

This Port, made specially for Berry Bros. & Rudd, demonstrates the silky, elegant charm often associated with the wines of La Rosa. Attractive aromatics are complemented by red and black berry fruit, with a sweet-spice finish. There is no need to decant this wine, which is extremely approachable and delicious to enjoy now.

About this wine

Quinta De La Rosa

Quinta de La Rosa is a small estate in the heart of the Port wine-growing region in Alto Douro, near Pinhao, owned and operated by the Bergqvist family: Tim, his wife Patricia, son Philip and his two daughters, Sophia and Olivia, with the aid of the talented winemaker Jorge Moreira since 2002 The Quinta and its vineyards were given to Tim's mother as a Christening present by her parents, the Feurheerds, who established the property in 1906. It remains one of the few Single Quintas where the vineyards start at the bank of the Douro and rise 450 meters to the towering top of the mountain. From the river's edge to the top, one passes through 11 different microclimates. This gives La Rosa great flexibility to add variety and complexity to its Port. La Rosa and Tim Berqgvist are special. In many ways they represent what the Douro is all about... pride, courage, tradition, and the determination to produce the finest product from in one of natures' most difficult climactic conditions. Quinta de la Rosa produces small quantities of superb quality Ports and red wine (Val da Clara Douro label)
