Quinta do Monte Xisto Magnum Red
The grapes were harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in 20 kg boxes. They were vinified in mills with treading on foot. Fermentation took place over 6 days in the mill with indigenous yeasts. This followed an 18-month stage in 600 liter kites. Intense ruby color, we bring the nose closer to the glass and the aroma is gradually discovered. First, the cistus, juniper, stands out, progressing to a universe of freshness seasoned by aromatic herbs. It is then alive and full of fruit. In the mouth it attacks with volume, a soft sphere surrounded by soft tannins slides for a long and fresh finish. Contains sulfites.

Nicolau Almeida Leve Seco White
The grapes were harvested manually from a plot at the top of Quinta do Monte Xisto facing North and transported to the winery, located in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, in 20kg boxes. Vinification in cement vats with dough over 3 days, followed by pressing to finish the fermentation and subsequent addition of brandy. Internship in a cement vat in the warehouse in Vila Nova de Gaia, close to the sea, with excellent conditions of temperature and humidity. The wine is the result of a blend of 4 different harvests and falls into the Porto Branco Leve Seco category, as the aim is to make a wine with the lowest possible degree of sugar. This wine gives us a feeling of freshness, but at the same time some hints of maturation. A true blend in which the young man marries the adult. It combines aromas of fresh and dried fruits. With a more attentive nose, we are transported to oriental aromas such as black tea and exotic infusions. From the first approximation we get the sensation of volume and intensity. The palate is soft with a sequence of flavors of plum, fig, lemon, orange, chestnut...reflecting great complexity. At the end you can feel a slight warm and sweet touch, reminding us that it is a Port wine, but light. A unique wine. Contains sulfites.
