Quinta do Portal

 

Quinta do Portal is a fine winemaking estate created and operated by the Manshila Branco family that passionately embraced the "boutique winery" concept. Initiated in its current form in 1991, the family's roots in Port wine go back to 1881 with the Quinta dos Muros, the family's original property.

Quinta do Portal is located in the Pinhão river valley, a small tributary of the Douro in northern Portugal. The property counts 105 hectares of vineyards spread on terraced hillsides on both sides of the river at an altitude of 200-550 m that benefit from excellent sun exposure.

These assets, offering different soil compositions paired with an integrated sustainable farming approach and a gravity-flow winery, make it possible to produce a diversity of invaluable quality grapes to create exceptional wines. Paulo Coutinho has been the head winemaker since 1994. 

In addition to its outstanding Port wines, Quinta Do Portal also features a cozy and luxurious boutique hotel, Casa das Pipas, in the heart of the vineyard. Staying at Quinta do Portal, tourists, amateurs, and professionals alike will undoubtedly experience the passion and ambience that led the Alto Douro wine region to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Hand-picked/ Aged for 1 year in oak casks and bottled in June 2018

Most of the grapes for this Vintage Port come from the Pinhão River Valley, where touriga nacional and tinta roriz can withstand the summer heat. Grapes from other valleys were then selected to create a classic Vintage Port blend. Fermentation was carried out in a mix of lagar and closed tanks. In the lagar tank, we get more complexity and structure, and the closed tank guarantees freshness and aromatic components.

Tasting Notes :

This 2016 vintage port shows an intense, mature fruitiness with floral notes that provides excellent freshness. It has good concentration and structure on the palate and a rich, multidimensional aromatic composition.
