Meandro do Quinta do Vale Meão Tinto 2024 Douro Superior
Meandro is the entry-level wine from the renowned Quinta do Vale Meão in the Douro Superior. Made predominantly from the local grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. Foot-treaded and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and granite lagars. It was then aged for 14 months in two- and three-year-old Allier oak barrels.
The growing season in 2024 was moderately warm with slightly above-average rainfall. Whilst the summer was hot and dry, the weather during the harvest (late August and September) was noticeably cool. In 2024, yields were above average, with very balanced ripening and good harmony between sugar content, acidity and tannins. The harvest took place from 21 August to 4 October.
Deep colour. Aromas of fresh red fruit with floral notes. Intense, fresh and long on the palate.

Quinta do Vale Meão
5150-501 Vila Nova de Foz Côa
PORTUGAL
When the grande dame of port, Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, acquired an impressive 300 hectares near the Spanish border in 1877, she laid the foundation for one of the most exciting quintas Portugal has to offer. North of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, the Douro River meanders, creating three different soil formations: stony alluvial, granite and slate combine to form a unique terroir covering 98 hectares of cultivated land. Since 1998, Dona Antónias great-great-grandson Francisco de Olazabal and his son of the same name have been producing outstanding quality wines here. The red grapes ripen in individual plots, are fermented separately and then blended into cuvées. The single-varietal tintos from Monte Meão also impress with their concentration and extraordinary elegance.
