O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2021
A wine with a lot of colour, opaque, with great aromatic intensity dominated by blackberries, blackberry jam, rosemary and floral notes of Touriga Nacional, all in a fruit of very good quality. The palate is pleasantly vigorous with a succulent acidity and well framed tannins. An intense red wine, powerful and simultaneously elegant.
The grapes are picked by hand and transported in 25 kg boxes, selected, destemmed and crushed at the winery entrance. This is followed by a fermentation process at controlled temperature. After the alcoholic fermentation the natural malolactic fermentation follows, keeping the wine at about 20ºC. Ageing in new French oak barrels of 225 litres where it remains for about 12 months.
Contains sulphites.

Located in the Alijó Valley, Quinta de Cottas is a 10 ha property that enjoys the conditions of excellence 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 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 reconversion of the property, recovering the existing old vineyard plot and planting the remaining available area. From the very beginning they defined that the approach at Quinta de Cottas 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.
