Quinta da Boavista Vinha do Ujo Tinto

Located near Pinhão on the right bank of the Douro, with a spectacular view of the river, Quinta da Boavista is one of the most iconic estates in the demarcated region, known not only for its historical connection to the Barão de Forrester but also for its 40 hectares of high-quality vineyards. Vinha do Ujo was planted in 1930 on pre-phylloxera horizontal terraces, with the soil supported by small schist walls. Its more than 25 grape varieties spread across small sun-exposed west-facing terraces. The vineyard has an altitude ranging between 180 and 210 meters. Wine with an intense and deep red color. An impressive aroma that takes us to a bergamot orchard, fresh wild scents, as well as floral and mineral notes, displaying superb complexity and depth. On the palate, it reveals itself to be unique, impressing with its finesse and beautiful integration with the wood. Long and persistent. Hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently crushed. The grape fermentation takes place in new 500-liter French oak barrels. After a period of maceration, the resulting wine continues its aging for 16 months in 225-liter French oak barrels. Contains sulfites.
