PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

Q Grande Reserva 2015

91/100
Mark Squires

The 2015 Q Grande Reserva is half Touriga Nacional, plus 30% Touriga Franca and 20% Tinta Roriz, all aged for 12 months in new French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a very refined Grande Reserva, with elegance and a bright feel. It finishes with flavor and a little vanilla from wood. The mid-palate is not fleshy, but it shows good finesse. The tannins are very ripe, not interfering with the overall impression of elegance. This has some room to grow, even though it is approachable right now. Despite the intensity of flavor, it is not even a little jammy. It has a nice crisp edge and is nicely structured. August 2018.

Winemaking Details

Our Grande Reserva is the wine we have the most fun making every year. It is also the hardest to make, yet the easiest! The easiest because we simply have to select the very best lots to blend and make it happen. The hardest because it is extremely difficult to achieve everything perfect from amazing fruit through harvest, vinification and aging. So many little details can go wrong, but yet, in the end, we have the challenge to select the very best barrels to include in this exclusive blend that will reflect the very best expression of our 2015 harvest. This wine will reward you if you keep it in your cellar for the next 2 decades, but if you decide to open it in the next 2 years, give it a quick decanting before serving to improve the aromas complexity.
