Winemaking:Taken by curiosity and interest in exploring traditional values with the most modern techniques as tools, we selected in our Quintas de Ervamoira and Bons Ares, three white varieties from the Douro: Rabigato, Folgazão and Gouveio. The white grapes, having been carefully picked, are crushed and their must fermented in French oak casks of varying capacity and age, where the wine is aged, following its transformation, during 7 months over fine lees.
Grape Varieties:
Rabigato,Folgazão,Gouveio
Tasting Notes:
Clean and bright colour, pale yellow. Delicate nose, with notes of tangerine and orange blossom. Background of ripe fruits, peach and apricot. In the mouth, it is a distinctive harmony (full entry and good freshness), for its consistency (in the mouth, there is structure, concentration, and density) and by its elegance (a hint of wood, floral notes, and citrus fruits). Long and intense end of palate.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serving temperature between 13ºC and 15ºC. Bottle should be stored flat, in a cool, dry place, shaded from light.
Food Pairing:
The elegance of the Duas Quintas Reserva white 2011 allows for it to be enjoyed as an appetiser. But it is particularly good with oysters and ideal with cod salad, Gravlax salmon, sea bass in salt and seafood.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
