moderate levels of acidity that segues to a very peppery and vivacious finish

the domain lost around 60% of the crop

The middle weight plus flavors exude a beguiling inner mouth perfume and a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit-infused finish

Quinta Vale Dona Maria, Vintage other_regions_australia moderate levels of acidity thatModerately saturated medium ruby. Aromas of black fruits, licorice, cocoa powder, herbs and mint. Supple and fruity, with attractive, sweet fruit of moderate depth and grip. Has decent length but the chewy tannins seem a bit strong for the wine's material. Stephen Tanzer
