Product details
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winemaking centre in small boxes. After being selected at the winery reception, the grapes are vinified separately, according to the variety and the vineyard; the must is obtained by direct pressing after cold maceration. The clean must was fermented in stainless steel vats at low temperature (90%) and in French oak casks (10%).
Grape Varieties:
Viosinho,Rabigato,Arinto
Tasting Notes:
Clean and bright, golden in colour with amber reflections. Fine and expressive nose where citrus aromas (of tangerine) and ripe fruit (apricot and peach) dominate; floral notes emerge as a feature of our white wines. Full bodied palate, elegant, fine and very present, reflecting the quality of the grapes of this vintage where balance and "finesse" are its best descriptors.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve between 12º and 14º C. Store the bottle on its side in a cool, dry and dark place.
Food Pairing:
The Duas Quintas white 2013 is excellent when served as an aperitif. We recommend it as an accompaniment to salads, marinated fish and seafood. Ideal with mullet recipes but it’s also great with poultry dishes, in particular with stuffed chicken or chicken galantine.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
