Vallado Adelaide Red (Individual box) 2016
- In stock, ready to ship

The Adelaide Red 2016 is a wine originating from a very old vineyard, from which no more than 400 grams of fruit are extracted per plant. A centenary vineyard, grown on a steep, hard-to-access slope on a tributary of the Douro, with a wide variety of grape varieties, as was planted in the past. The result is a wine as rare, as unique, and as sublime as Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira. And then there is the decision ritual. As a tribute to the great-great-grandmother of the current managers of the Quinta, João Ferreira Alvares Ribeiro, Francisco Ferreira, and Francisco Olazabal, the wine is only released if, unanimously, the three great-great-grandchildren agree. The criterion is simple. Does it have enough concentration? Is it complex, fresh, with silky tannins? Will it have a long life, lasting decades? Will it be a Grand Vin? If all agree, there is Adelaide. But a single dissent, a disagreement, a sulk, is enough for the wine to have another fate: the cellar, where it will wait for time to bring it the desired complexity — a complexity far from current trends — or another, less noble, baptism. This is the protocol.
