Valéria Zeferino, tasting note published in July 10th 2021
Quite concentrated ruby colour. Delicate but complex nose with a handful of wild berries, caruma, bay leaf, some milk chocolate, floral notes and light liquorice. In the tasting it shows great level of well-mannered tannin, texture and acidity in perfect harmony, lots of concentration of flavours, while remaining elegant at the same time. Long finish with fruit and sweet spice flavours.
It is, for us, a perfect blend of Touriga Nacionaland Tinta Roriz, combining the structure and aromas of one with the consistency and longevity of the other.
We will maintain over the years this profile of a modern wine that combines structure and fragrance in the best way possible. A very gastronomic and appealing wine.
Manual harvest in 20 kg crates, destemming of the grapes without crushing. Co-fermentation in granite lagars and a “Ganimede” tank. Malolactic fermentation in the tank and aging for 14 months in French oak barrels (Allier) of second and third use.

Quinta das Marias
During the last three decades, with much love and great care, we have turned Quinta das Marias into a wine house that produces top quality wines exclusively from its own culture. Our wines are an example of the elegance, depth and refinement that only the Dão region can produce, thanks to the climatic conditions and the exceptional soils from which it benefits.
The first good wines were produced in 1998. The 1999 Dão has already won a gold medal in the Dão DOC Competition. The greatest success so far has been the awarding of the Best Single Vineyard Wine of the Year prize to the Touriga NacionalReserve 2011 in the Vinhos de Portugal Competition, the most important in the country.
As a family company we place quality above everything else. And it is exactly because of this that we have managed to affirm our wines on the international markets in front of the greatest wine lovers.
