What an impressive bottle of white wine, showing great expression of place and youthful vibrancy, finely textured, with nicely woven notes of minerality, zesty citrus fruit and herbal nuances, well integrated oak flavours. A handsome and sleek wine, leaving the palate with a clean, crisp finish.
Quinta de Maritávora is located in Douro Superior, very close to the border with Spain. This superb white wine was made from a field blend of varieties, including some vines of a hundred years of age. Codega da Larinho, Rabigato and Viosinho were planted amongst others. Fermented in New French oak barrel. Aged for 7 months, including regular battonage during the first 3 months.
Only 2,850 bottles made and that was my second last bottle!
Great job, Manuel and Jorge. You should be so proud of it!
