NEW IN STORE: Quinta da Leira wines directly from the Douro Valley

The Douro Demarcated Region is a particularly representative area of the landscape that characterizes the oldest regulated wine-growing region in the world, famous for its valleys, in addition to the Douro River where boats transport Port wines to the city.

But the region does not live only on fortified Port wines, there are also table wines, which carry the local history, along with the characteristics of the terroir around the world, as in the wines of Quinta da Leira, which are born there and convey the uniqueness of the region in each of its wines.

Reconciling technology and tradition, Quinta da Leira brings wines of character and power from an imposing Douro and that stands out wherever it goes, as in the case of Quinta da Leira Reserve White 2016. A wine made from the Côdega de Larinho and Viosinho varieties, that aged for 6 months in French oak barrels, resulting in an elegant, mineral and light toasted wine. With a fruity profile, the notes of peach and apricot stand out; very round, with a fine and crunchy acidity, in addition to a slightly vanilla finish.

In the most premium range, with an even more complex wine, we found a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão varieties, called Quinta da Leira Grand Reserve Red 2017. With an aroma of red fruits, like currant and plum, this wine brings also nuances of cocoa combined with an elegant touch of wood where it aged for 12 months. With a full and greedy profile, it presents a freshness and an acidity that surprises, in a lively, spicy wine that ends long and full of intensity.

The Quinta da Leira wines bring an intimate relationship between human activity and nature, which allow the creation of true nectars of unique value, where the characteristics of the terroir are expressed in an exemplary way and which we are pleased to present to you today.
