Quinta da Romaneira, located in the heart of the Douro Valley, stands as one of Portugal's grandest and most historic wine estates. With a remarkable heritage dating back to 1757, Romaneira stretches across 412 hectares, boasting 3 kilometres of stunning river frontage along the Douro. With vineyards planted on steep, terraced hillsides from various microclimates and exposures, the estate crafts wines exclusively from its own meticulously managed plots. 'Tres Parcelas' is the proud result of fruit sourced from three distinct terroirs - Apontador, Tomba Chapeus, and Mina - each bringing unique character and complexity to this expressive Touriga Nacional. Aged in French oak barrels, 'Tres Parcelas' captures the essence of its terroir and the expertise of acclaimed winemaker Carlos Agrellos, delivering a wine of robust structure and remarkable elegance.
