TASTING NOTES MENIN PORTO WHITE 20 YEARS OLD is golden in color. On the nose, it reveals notes of dried fruits such as almonds and walnuts, honey, dried apricots and orange blossom. On the palate, it demonstrates concentration balanced by natural acidity. HISTORY The project began in 2018, when we saw enormous potential in Quintas da Costa de Cima and Sol, which included a vast area of ​​century-old vineyards, with at least 60 grape varieties, another large plot requiring root renewal, where we could plant the perfect complement, the effort and achievement of building an entirely new winery, all with the breathtaking landscape of the river on the background. We chose the most difficult path… Build, innovate, protect, transform. A huge challenge, but also the opportunity to have the perfect combination. The dream came true and we found vibrant people, all heirs of knowledge and traditions from previous generations. We looked for the experience of locally trained masters and we also had the exuberant energy of those who found their first job. We became neighbors to iconic Quintas and were honored to receive the support of families with long stories to tell. In 2021, we took advantage of the unique opportunity to acquire a brand with high recognition in the Douro and an immense heritage, Horta Osório Wines. Meaning more than 3 centuries of history and know-how that we want to honor and carry into the future. We want to be unique as each wine is unique. We want to be Douro like every bottle that is made here. We want to take this valley to other worlds, share this pleasure. PLEASE NOTE: This is a recurring auction.
