Quinta do Portal 10 Years Old White 6 x 0.375L DESCRIPTION Quinta do Portal is a family fine winemaking company that embraced with passion the “Boutique Winery” concept. We are producers of Douro wines, premium Port Wines, fortified Moscatel wines and a little Olive Oil. The new project that started in the early 90’s of the XX century, had on its base Quinta dos Muros, a centenary estate of the Mansilha family and the Port Wine that was produced there for 4 generations. With a clear vision of the future, we made part of the first group of Douro winegrowers that believed in the Douro potential to make outstanding still wines. Paulo Coutinho has been the head winemaker since 1994. We also count with the expert consultancy from Pascal Chatonnet since 1992 for the Douro wines, and had the privilege to work with Jeremy Bull in the Port wines in the end of the 90´s and first years of the new century. Quality has always been our motto, as can be seen by the countless international awards and 90+ points reviews given to our wines, olive oil and our other services. We are members of The Porto Protocol, a movement whose vision is a a world where companies join efforts and act together to slow and reverse climate change. In May 2022 we installed photovoltaic pannels that will allow us to produce 50% of our electricity needs. During the harvest we reuse the CO2 produced during fermentation to inert vats and "lagares". Our vineyards are under integrated farm management, a farming system that has the objective of producing high quality grapes by using natural resources and regulating mechanisms to replace polluting inputs and to secure sustainable farming.

TASTING NOTES With a beautiful bright golden color, this Port impresses with the harmony between the complexity of an old wine, where dried fruits and spices prevail, but at the same time a freshness given by notes of yellow fruit and some floral. Beautiful acidity in the mouth, balancing the more honeyed and spicy final character. It finishes long and fresh, inviting you to take another sip. SERVING Serve slightly chilled with traditional egg sweets or cheese. You can also enjoy it as a company drink after dinner.
