O Produtor, tasting note published in June 14th 2022

Intense red. Country meadow scent opens up into an avalanche of red fruits. Soft and lively tannins, loaded with fruit with a surprising acidity. Balanced structure of a young spirit that launches us into a spicy and aromatic finish that takes us out of orbit.....5...4...3...2...1...liftoff!

Monte Xisto

Monte Xisto Órbita is a blend of several grape varieties and parcels from Quinta do Monte Xisto (30% from a blending parcel and 70% from Touriga Nacional), with different sun exposures surrounding, orbiting the vineyard area of the Quinta. In search of a less extracted wine, with less wood, it represents an alternative version of Quinta do Monte Xisto while maintaining the dominant characteristics of its terroir: complexity, structure, and elegance.

The grapes were hand-harvested and transported to the winery (located in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, Douro) in 20kg boxes.

The fermentation took place in cement tanks using indigenous yeasts. This was followed by an aging period of 18 months in cement tanks and 600-liter barrels in the warehouse in Vila Nova de Gaia, near the sea, with excellent temperature and humidity conditions.
