THE WINE
Duas Quintas Red is a wine from Douro Superior – Quinta da Ervamoira (altitude 150m) and Quinta ds Bons Ares (altitude 600m)made with the traditional varieties that express the potential of this outmost region.
THE YEAR
After a dry, very precocious year, the winter 2018 was cold and brought the vines growing cycle back to normal. Intense rains in Spring and early Summer and the cool temperatures until the end of July delayed the harvest. The two crucial months for grape maturation, August and September, were hot and dry with grapes becoming ripe enough to be harvested. 2018 wines are surprisingly elegant and fresh.
TASTING NOTES
Dark red with bright and clean cherry reflexes. Enormous aromatic vivacity smelling of woods, damp earth, red berries and a number of fresh spices. In the mouth the volume, freshness and fruit are well balanced with a long finish of soft, fine tannins.
Duas Quintas red 2018 is elegante, fresh and vivacious.
GASTRONOMY
An excellent companion when reading, chatting with drinks or to have as an aperitif. The elegance of the 2018 wine allows to combine with a variety of dishes. We recommend grilled cod, vegetarian dishes or roast beef. Is also good with cured ewe’s cheese.
VINIFICATION
Plot by plot the grapes are tasted in the vineyard until the time is right for harvesting. Once in the winery the grapes are crushed and destemmed and sent to different fermentation containers (granite lagares, big oak vats, concrete and stainless-steel vats). Our in-depth knowledge allows us to choose the most suitable fermentation vats and fermentation. The grapes are macerated for as long as it’s needed to obtained a wine with the desired body and structure. After malolactic fermentation, 20% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, 30% in big oak vats and the remaining 50% stored in stainless steel vats for about 12 months. This wine was bottle between May and July 2020.
