Quinta do Vesúvio DOC 2009 Red
93,99 €
Aged for 13 months in new 400L French oak barrels. In 2009, after yet another dry winter, hot summer conditions clearly indicated that an early harvest was likely and good weather and considerable heat throughout the final ripening period brought one of the earliest harvests at Quinta do Vesuvio. The combination of drought and very hot temperatures in August and September set the stage for a challenging crop. In fact, this was one of the smallest vintages in the Douro over the last 15 years, with some of the region’s main varietals failing in some areas under the difficult conditions. Contains sulfites.

Adega Mayor Arinto White
After manual harvesting, the grapes were quickly sent to the cellar, where they were destemmed and gently pressed. The must, clarified by the cold, fermented slowly for approximately 2 weeks in stainless steel vats, with controlled temperature. With a lemon yellow color and a bright appearance, this is an aromatically discreet wine, of medium intensity, which privileges the notes of green apple, lime and a vegetal character balanced by a pungent minerality. In the mouth it is “full” and vibrant. The finish is persistent and pleasantly confirms the mineral character of the nose. Contains sulfites.
Quinta da Carolina Red
Careful selection of grapes in whole bunch for the cement mill where they spontaneously ferment at controlled temperature. After a maceration period of about a week, the grapes are picked and the wine continues its fermentative processes in 500 liter French and Austrian oak barrels. Aging for 24 months in French and Austrian oak barrels, followed by a year in stainless steel, where it stabilizes naturally throughout the seasons. Bottled manually, by gravity without filtering or sticking and with minimal SO2 adjustments. It is a wine with a little extracted profile, we look for the elegance and freshness that an old vineyard with exposure to the north can give us. Open ruby color, shallow, with herbal notes combined with fresh fruit on the nose, deep and persistent in the mouth, with Douro and wooden aging notes. A wine to enjoy while young, but clearly aging. Advisable for decanting. Contains Sulfites.
