Rola, Red Reserva Douro 2018

After fermentation and malolactic conversion, 30 percent of the wine is carefully aged for nine to twelve months in new and used French oak barrels.

Ana Rola is born and raised in the Douro. Since an early age she knew she wanted to be a winemaker in the Douro Valley. Here she finds originality, unbeatable terroir and knowledge. Here, she feels, she can overcome the challenges of creating a wine that stands out from the crowd! In 2014 Ana decided to leave her post as head winemaker at a large prestigious Douro winery to go it alone. She explains: "After many years doing what I love for others, I think it got to a point that I thought ‘why not do it for myself?’." Ana Rola shared she wants "to make wines that really tell you where they came from, wine from specific
vineyards with minimal intervention, wines that are true and honest."
