2018 | Quintas dos Roques | Reserva

Clear ruby-colored wine, with a fruity aroma reminiscent of wild berries and pine needles, with hints of vanilla provided by the oak wood. In the mouth it is powerful with the astringency typical of youth. Very balanced, foreshadowing a good aging potential.

Producer Information

Quinta dos Roques, situated in the small hamlet of Abrunhosa do Mato between Mangualde and Nelas, is a fine example of the spirit with which the new Dão is being created. Vines and wines have been part of the everyday life of the family here for over a century, though production at one time was little more than that needed for household consumption. At the beginning of the 1980s, however, a new page was turned in the history of the quinta. The original system of cultivating vines by hand and delivering the grapes to the local co-operative ended, and a project designed to produce high-quality Dão wines was introduced. The first priority was the vines. Using the latest techniques, the best varieties from the region were planted on the granitic and, at times, schistous soil of the gentle southern slopes. After a few years, when wine production was steady and consistent, a new adega was built combining the modern with the traditional; science and technology with art. Side by side, in perfect symbiosis, electronic presses appeared alongside granite lagares, stainless steel vats with oak barrels, cold systems with underground cellars and the very first wines produced were proof that the venture would be highly successful.
