Tasting Notes

Very big on the nose showing floral notes, lychee and tropical fruits. These sweet/ spicy fruits are also evident on the mouth. Easy drinking and with a crisp acidity.

Region / Vineyards

With four centuries of making wine, the first wines from Quinta de Paços being recorded in history, and described with very good flavours are aromas, is in Philadelphia, the year of 1876 for the USA Century Celebration! This is a very interesting region and considered to be first to export wines to England, Flanders and Germany.

A family owned company, the wines produced are of high quality and with unique character. From vineyards in Barcelos with granite and granodiorit soils similar to the ones of
Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Graves. The stones warm the grapes overnight helping ripeness and passing minerals to the resulting wines.

An experimental grape in the Vinho Verde region first grafted in 2003 and showing good terroir expression.

Vinification / Ageing

The grapes are gentle pressed before pellicular maceration at 8°C. Racking before alcoholic fermentation with temperatures between 15 and 18°C and lees contact using stainless steel vats.
