Located near Pinhão, on the right bank of the Douro, Quinta da Boavista has a spectacular view over the river. It is one of the most iconic properties in the demarcated region, known not only for its historical connection to Barão de Forrester, but also for its 36 hectares of high quality vineyards.

Boa-Vista Reserva Red is a wine that reflects the combination of multiple micro-terroirs. The different grape varieties, of different ages, at different altitudes and sun exposure, express themselves here in a unique way, creating a multifaceted wine, inimitable in character, longevity and elegance.

This wine constitutes the 'backbone' of Quinta da Boavista's portfolio and is the result of a blend made with grapes from old and more recent vineyards. In particular, this Reserva is produced using Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão and Vinhas Velhas.
Touriga Nacional is a red grape variety that is a key ingredient in both still and fortified wines from the Douro region. It presents bold notes of black fruits, commonly accompanied by memories of spices and violet.

Secondly, Touriga Franca is also one of the traditional grape varieties in the Douro region. More aromatic and lighter in its structure, it is slightly less concentrated, Touriga Franca has high tannins and a fresh aroma of ripe red fruits, spices complemented by floral notes.

In turn, Tinto Cão is a grape variety that dates back to the origins of the region. Over the years, it has been proven that Tinto Cão grows best in areas of the region less exposed to sunlight. The milder climate allows the grape variety's floral aromas to develop and stand out. Responsible for red wines with lower color intensity, it has good levels of acidity and tannins.

All of these are combined with a variety of old vines from the Quinta's 10 hectares that have vines over 80 years old.

It has a vibrant ruby ​​color and a black fruit aroma, of great breadth and generosity, well complemented by fresh notes of fine and elegant spice. In the mouth, vigor reigns, well-defined tannin that over time merges with the fruit and enhances the structure and finesse of the whole. Overflowing with freshness, this is a powerful wine with a lot of life ahead of it.
