Pessegueiro Aluzé 2014 is an appealing red wine crafted by Quinta do Pessegueiro, a renowned winery in the Douro. The native grape varieties touriga nacional and touriga franca form this balanced blend, which reflects, through its complexity and great fruit presence both on the nose and palate, the unique terroir it comes from: the rocky soil terraces on steep slopes of one of the best production areas in Portugal.

Creators' opinion
A la vista, Quinta Do Pessegueiro Aluzé luce un color rojo intenso con matices violáceos. En nariz es fino y fresco, con recuerdos a frutos del bosque. También aparecen notas florales y especias como la pimienta y el clavo. En boca tiene un ataque directo y muy fresco, se abre con volumen y termina con finura y precisión.
