O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2021
Pale citrine colour. This wine presents a great character with mineral notes and intense citric aromas with great complexity. In the mouth it reveals great elegance with a vibrant acidity and an excellent balance with a powerful and surprising finish.
The grapes are picked by hand and transported in 25 kg boxes, selected, destemmed and pressed at the winery entrance. After static decantation of the must at low temperatures the must is sent to French oak barrels where it ferments and ages for about 6 months, subject to a period of “battonnage”, after which it is bottled, followed by a prolonged period of bottle ageing.
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.
