O Produtor, tasting note published in August 15th 2022
With a pale salmon colour, it presents a very fine and serious aroma of citrus fruits and melon, complexed with a light vegetable smoke from the barrels where it fermented. In the mouth it shows a lot of minerality and a deep acidity, highlighting some hibiscus tea notes.
Planted on clayey and sandy loamy soils, with low productive potential, the grape varieties of the Vicentino boast their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the land will act as a stimulus to the quality of the grapes that are formed, promoting an ideal concentration of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. The achievement of this balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, allows obtaining a raw material of excellence. In the same barrels, on the fermentation lees for 6 months.

Quinta da Escusa is located in Senhora da Escusa, in the municipality of Rio Maior, about 70 km northeast of Lisbon, between the villages of Quintas and Vale Barco. Part of the Quinta da Escusa estate belonged to the grandparents and parents of the current owners who, over the decades, exercised agriculture and viticulture. The secular house of Quinta do Porto Nogueira is set against the Roman Bridge over the Arnóia river, which would be the passage of the Roman road that linked Collippo (near Leiria) to Eburobrittium (Óbidos) and that followed to Olisipo (Lisbon). The bridge is testimony to the presence of the Romans in the region and inspired the name Romana Vini, Family Winery.
