O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2019
Pale citrine colour, with a great aromatic delicacy dominated by minerality and with very well integrated wood. In the mouth it shows an excellent volume, great freshness and with a very long finish. An original white wine, with delicate acidity and great balance.
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 temperature for a period of about 24 hours the clarified must is sent to stainless steel vats where it is processed the grubbing up and the first part of the fermentation until about 1050 of density, when it is transferred to French oak barrels where the alcoholic fermentation ends and where a period of “battonnage” of about 7 months over total lees is given.

Quinta dos Cottas
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.
