Some terraces reach eight metres in height and this, combined with extreme conditions and the dramatic slope come together to provide a unique terroir. The entire vineyard reserved for Port wine has a letter A benefit with (the best rating) and was planted with the traditional Douro grape varieties[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597419209625{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}” el_id=”castas”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597419346076{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Grapes” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″]\n\t\n\t\n\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/quintadaboavista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/group-10.svg\" "\\"group-10\\"")

In 1791, Francisco Rebello da Fonseca describes it wonderfully: \u201cIt ripens well, and it does not dry out nor rot. It does not produce excessively\u201d. Berry with thick film, very compact bunches, low yield and extremely late, this grape variety returns to the place it deserves in the universe of the Douro\u2019s oldest traditional grape varieties. <\/p>\nThroghout the years, it has been provend that this variety is better suited to the region’s fronts with less sun exposure. The cooler climate allows the variety\u2019s floral aromas to showcase. With lighter coloured wines, despite its dark skins, it has good levels of acidity and tannins.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597418731402{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”5071″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597312056368{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”testbg”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597311243956{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4716″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597311229985{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Vinification” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left”]\n\t

\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\tProduction<\/div>\n\t600 bottles<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>[vc_column_text read_more=”yes”]To ensure the prevalence of the variety\u2019s characteristics and the full control of the process, at Quinta da Boavista we use manual harvesting and manual grape sorting processes, followed by a gentle berry de-stalk and crush. As fermentation reservoirs we have the traditional granite wine presses with foot treading, stainless steel fermentation vats and, for small batches, PVC food containers or fermentation in new 500 litre French wooden barrels. Each of these types of fermentation gives the wine a unique style and personality.
\n
\nThis Tinto C\u00e3o is one of our only wines that age in 500 litre barrels. After ageing between 15 and 20 months, we carry out light fining and subsequent bottling. All our wines are sealed under natural cork. This wine is not filtered or cold-stabilized and that is why it can produce a sediment with age.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597415717043{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}” el_id=”product-specifications”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”bottom-detail-bg”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”testbg”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1597414774471{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_text]All this leads to a very special wine. It starts off with a bright cherry red colour with medium intensity. Has an exceptionally clean, precise and austere aroma where its mineral side stands out. Fresh red fruits, like cherry, smoked notes and a hint of spices compose this wine\u2019s bouquet. The aroma develops in the glass, giving the wine complexity and making it extremely attractive. Elegant, fresh,
\nlively and awake, almost restless, palate. Excellent mouthfeel, with very polished tannins that gives it a long finish.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1597414849831{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″]\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\tWinemakers<\/div>\n\tRui Cunha
