The Douro is the oldest and one of the most important wine regions in the world. Located in Northeast Portugal, within the Douro River basin, surrounded by craggy mountains that give it very particular soil and climacteric characteristics, this region spreads over a total area of approximately 250 000 hectares and is divided into three sub-regions that differ greatly from each other not only as regards the weather but also for socio-economical reasons.
Quinta do Portal properties are located in the Cima-Corgo subregion, an area that has been showing very good balance regarding its resistence to climate changes. The vineyards are spread by 5 estates - Quinta do Portal, Quinta do Confradeiro, Quinta dos Muros, Quinta da Abelheira and Quinta das Manuelas - in a total of 100 ha under vines. The different altitudes and solar exposures and the variety of grape varieties allow us to produce excellent grapes that produce a diversity of wines of great quality.
Tasting Notes
Lively tawny in colour, it shows na intense aroma of dry fruits, althrough some notes of young red fruits are also present. It’s full-bodied with some peppery notes. The final is very long. A very polivalent old Port.
