Qalt Red Unoaked 2019
9,90 €
Qalt Unoaked is a strong and joyful red wine. An "electric" wine, with the strength and elegance of Touriga Francesa, the colour, persistence and spring-like aroma of Touriga Nacional, finishing this Douro blend with the typicity of Tinta Roriz.
With an intense ruby colour, it invades the mouth with colour, explosions of intense red fruits, with a perfect balance between the acidity and the Duriense tannins that guarantee all the elegance of the live fruit in the mouth.
