Superstjernen fra Vallado fra en enkelt vinmark i 350 meters højde som et blandet sæt af gamle vinstokke på over 90 år. Forskellige autoktone vinstokke. Spontangæret i beton, modnet 100 % i nye franske barriques i hele 18 måneder. Træet kompenseres perfekt af den vilde kølighed og høje friskhed. Enorm bærsmag, rig, sød rød og sort frugt med nougat- og Nutella-undertoner. Fremragende afbalanceret med det fineste urteagtige krydderi, måske nogle af de rosiner, der blev tilbage under gæringen? Den geniale vinmager Francisco Ferreira kan helt sikkert krediteres for dette. Modne blommer i munden, plus fede hjertekirsebær og vilde tranebær, lidt hyldebær, appelsinskal, espresso og lakrids, en aromatisk eksplosion, der har en tendens til at være mere rødbær. Som ung mangler den stadig noget harmoni i al den frugtagtige vildskab, men der er ingen tvivl om, at det er og bliver en stor vin. 97-100/100

Suckling om: Vinha da Granja

Notes of blackberries and mulberries with cured meat, dark spices and graphite. Compact and broad tannin structure here, with medium to full body. It’s structured and generous but supple in the middle, with deep dark fruit and a lengthy finish. Blend of 32 indigenous varieties from old vines, that are co-planted. Unique. Real wine. Drink or hold. 96/100

Parker om: Vinha da Granja

The 2019 Vinha da Granja is a single-parcel field blend (34 grapes) from 1929 vines. As with the Coroa, another recent brand, these are also higher-altitude vines (about 300 to 350 meters) but later picked. It was aged for 18 months in new French barriques and comes in at 14.48% alcohol. Perhaps my favorite of Vallado's upper-level reds this issue, this combines the elegance and finesse of the others with a little more richness and more sensual texture. It always maintains the winery's style this issue, though, demonstrating precision, impressive structure and focus all the time. While it gradually became my favorite as they all aired out, I can't ignore the price point. Maybe you'd be as happy with the Reserva, or at times, happier. I liked this slightly more while projecting the future today, but there are pros and cons, and it's hard to justify another $200 for the small difference in my appreciation. Who knows—in time, maybe the Reserva will win out. 95/100

Decanter om: Vinha da Granja

Vivid, with juicy, well-defined blackberry, blueberry and crunchier red cherry and berry fruit. Notes of earth, graphite, violets, liquorice and tobacco pouch bring a spicy, savoury dimension. Fine but present tannins and mineral acidity make for a fluid, strikingly fresh palate. Located in the cooler Baixo Corgo, the south-facing field blend parcel was planted in 1929 to 32 varieties. 95/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Vinha da Granja

Three acres of vines planted in 1929 are the basis of this seriously impressive wine. Its rich density and concentration and the spice from wood aging all contribute to its potential and power. The wine, with its dark black fruits, will age. Drink from 2026. 95/100
