Quinta de Viçosa 2003 Touriga Merlot - out of stock
this wine comes from one particularly good plot of land that lies within the walled boundary of an old quinta. Made only in very good years, and generally from a combination of two grape varieties. Aged for 12 months in French oak these are exquisite wines aimed at the connoisseur
