Quinta de Cottas Douro Tinto DOC

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

Located in the Alijó Valley, Quinta de Cottas is a 10 ha property that enjoys excellent conditions for the production of Douro and Port wines.

In 2006, Isabel and Pedro Carmo were attracted by a vineyard that once belonged to a large and important farm. Their great love for wine and the Douro valley made it impossible not to take advantage of the opportunity to produce their own wines there in this unique region, giving rise to this wine project. They quickly began the conversion of the property, including the recovery of the existing old vine plot and planting the remaining available area.

Grape Varieties: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão

Ageing: 30% of the batch ages for 6 months in French and American oak barrels.

Nose: Bold and fresh with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and toasted cinnamon.

Palate: Generous, sweet and creamy with fine, persistent tannins and an excellent volume. Long finish marked by the fruit.

Food Pairings: Easy to appreciate without food, but just as good with Charcuterie, grilled meats and mature cheeses.
