Quinta dos Avidagos Acqua Terroir 2018 Red Wine

Quinta dos Avidagos Acqua Terroir is a luxury and highly exclusive project that stands out for its unconventional aging method. After traditional winemaking in the Douro, this red wine is transported to an ancient quarry in Valongo, where the bottles age submerged at a depth of about 75 meters. This underwater environment, characterized by a constant temperature, total absence of light, and pressure higher than atmospheric, creates unique conditions that shape the wine in a way that is impossible to replicate in traditional cellars.

The submerged aging stage of Quinta dos Avidagos Acqua Terroir wine results in the preservation of exceptional freshness, but it presents a tannin evolution and a surprising texture smoothness for its age. With an extremely limited and numbered production, Acqua Terroir is recognized for its elegance and complexity, offering a deep aromatic profile and a silky structure. It is considered a collectible piece for enthusiasts, representing the encounter between the Douro winemaking tradition and cutting-edge technical experimentation.
