12.5%Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Located in the Alijó Valley, Quinta de Cottas is a 10 ha property that enjoys the excellent conditions for growing and producing Douro and Port wines. In 2006, Isabel and Pedro Carmo were enchanted to a vineyard that once belonged to a large and important quinta. Their great love for wine and the Douro valley made it impossible for them not to take the opportunity to produce their own wines in this unique region giving rise to this wine project.
They quickly started the renovation of the property, recovering the existing old vineyard and planting new vines on the remaining vacant plots. From the beginning they defined that the Quinta de Cottas approach would be to capture the essence of the Douro’s main grape varieties, producing high quality wines with a distinct personality that expressed their unique terroir.
Using White Varieties from their higher altitude vineyards of between 450m – 550m to acheive freshness, balance and minerality.
Grape Varieties: Arinto, Viosinho & Gouveio
Nose: aromatic freshness with vibirant tropical fruit notes with subtle notes of citrus and wet slate.
Palate: Fresh and vibrant on the palate with a generous body thats rich yet elegantly balanced. Spiced tropical fruits dominate the flavours with a floral hint on the finish.
Food Pairings: A delicious wine to enjoy on its own, but loves to be paired with fuller flavoured seafood such as grilled sardines or lobster. Also a perfect pairing with spatchcocked grilled chicken.
