<p></p> <p>Prats & Symington was founded in 1999 as a joint venture between the well known Bordeaux winemaker, Bruno Prats and the Symington family. It is an independent company specialising in dry red wines which has been at the forefront of the DOC Douro quality revolution and instrumental in driving forward the high quality image of the region.</p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>The founders of Burmester house are John Burmester and Henry Nash. Its origins go back to Germany and projected the Douro and Port in the United Kingdom.</p> <p>Burmester has been iconic since 1750</p>
<p>Casa da Passarella O Fugitivo Barcelo displays a citrine color. The nose is elegant and complex, offering notes of white fruits (like yellow plum and lychee) and melon, intertwined with mineral, floral, and subtle toasted oak nuances. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh and elegant, with depth and tension, complemented by spicy notes and a prolonged finish. Its full-bodied yet fresh profile makes it a versatile pairing for grilled fatty fish, seafood, white meats, light and fresh salads, and various vegetable dishes</p>
<p>Crasto White Wine shows pale lemon in colour, with light golden hints. Lots of freshness on the nose, showing lively aromas of citrus fruit and delicate notes of orange blossom. The palate is elegant, with an excellent volume and texture underpinned by vibrant notes of minerality. The finish is fresh, balanced and lingering</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Lavradores de Feitoria (a.k.a. Feitoria) is a unique project, created on September of 2000. Resulted from the union of 15 producers, owners of 18 Quintas spread throughout the best terroirs in the 3 sub-regions of the Douro region (Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro Superior). Nowadays the company has 48 shareholders (of which 15 are producers), and 19 Quintas. Together, they have a total area of vineyard of more than 600 ha.</p> <p>The goal of this brand has been, since the beginning, to create balanced and elegant wines that age well, having as a starting point the declared commitment with the excellence and tradition of Douro</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Behind a great wine there is always a great story. In the case of Grão Vasco, it is written with words of dedication, rigor, innovation, experience and passion. Words that tell the past, the present and the future. A start dating back to the late 50's in a small regional company - Super-Dão Winery Ltd</p>
<p></p><p><span>In 1988, A Danish-American couple set out in a sailboat to find a place to start a family and plant a vineyard. They came to Alentejo, and in a land of white varieties, they planted red. And so begins the story of Cortes de Cima Family Vineyards</span></p>
<p></p><p>A family farm with a centuries-old tradition that bets, in a firm and continuous way, the reconversion of Alentejo agriculture, presenting a diversity of farms ranging from the cork oaks to the vineyard, passing through Agrotourism</p>
<p>Wine born in the "Canto do Zé Cruz", whose vineyards are over 35 years old. They produce grapes of intense colour and concentrated aromas. With early maturation and good yield, the Aragonez grape variety gives rise to wines with high alcohol content, balanced acidity and aging capacity</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta do Mouro is located at the gates of the city of Estremoz, and belonged for centuries to the Zagalos family, one of the wealthiest in town. This original "quinta" in Alentejo, where the vast estates dominate, has an 18th century grooved house, charming gardens, bowls and 18th century tanks. In 1979, at the age of 26, luck dictated Miguel Louro's fate at a poker table, among friends, when he had the dilemma of buying a Porsche or Quinta do Mouro. The first hectares of vineyard would be planted in 1989, after a failed incursion into cattle breeding, and today he is one of the most iconic wine producers in the region.</p> <p></p>
