Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winemaking centre in small boxes. After being selected at the winery reception, the grapes are vinified separately, according to the variety and the vineyard; the must is obtained by direct pressing after cold maceration. The clean must was fermented in stainless steel vats at low temperature (90%) and in French oak casks (10%).
 
Grape Varieties:
Rabigato, Viosinho, Arinto
 
Tasting Notes:
Clean and bright, golden in colour with amber reflections. Fine and expressive nose where citrus aromas (of tangerine) and ripe fruit (apricot and peach) dominate; floral notes emerge as a feature of our white wines. Full bodied palate, elegant, fine and very present, reflecting the quality of the grapes of this vintage where balance and "finesse" are its best descriptors.
 
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve between 12º and 14º C. Store the bottle on its side in a cool, dry and dark place.
 
Food Pairing:
The Duas Quintas white is excellent when served as an aperitif. We recommend it as an accompaniment to salads, marinated fish and seafood. Ideal with mullet recipes but it’s also great with poultry dishes, in particular with stuffed chicken or chicken galantine.
