<p></p><p class="hiddeh1">Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of Douro valley and owned by Amorim family since 1999. But the «quinta» is much earlier than this and history confirms it as a great land belonging to the Portuguese Royal House, having been identified its first owner in 1725.</p> <p class="hiddeh1">Mirabillis, Quinta Nova Vintage, Pomares, Grainha and Quinta Nova Red and White wine</p>
<p>On the nose, Quinta do Poço do Lobo Reserva Red Wine offers a refined bouquet of wild berries, blackcurrant, cocoa, and tobacco, complemented by subtle spice and oak nuances. The palate is fresh and well-balanced, with polished tannins and a long, persistent finish. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, or aged cheeses, and it benefits from decanting or cellaring to further reveal its full potential. Serve between 16–18 °C for best expression.</p> <p></p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Years available for purchase.

<p></p><p>Quinta dos Termos is situated in the center of Portugal, on the slopes of the South slope of Serra da Estrela (highest mountain of Portugal - 2,000 m), thus protected from the cold north winds and sunny by its exposure to the South, reaching temperatures in the summer sometimes higher than 50ºC, which leads to a higher degree of maturation, giving rise to complex, aromatic wines of good consistency</p>
<p></p><p>The story of Dow’s is unusual amongst all the great Port houses. It began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Oporto, made a journey which was the opposite to that of the first British merchants. The Port shipping business was continued by Bruno’s son, John da Silva who in 1862 brought into partnership Frederick William Cosens. With the continuing expansion of the firm, Edward da Silva and Frederick Cosens were joined by George Acheson Warre, whose well known family had been involved in the Port trade since its earliest years. In 1877, Silva & Cosens merged with another leading Port company, Dow & Co.</p> <p>Although smaller than Silva & Cosens, Dow & Co had become a very highly regarded Port producer with a particularly fine reputation for its Vintage Ports and when the two companies merged, it was decided to adopt DOW’S as the brand name</p> <p>For over two centuries the name of DOW has been associated with the finest Port from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, the Symington family has built on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families.</p> <p>Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Colheitas are dated Tawnies aged in small casks. The minimum age requirement is 7 years, but the tradition at Niepoort is to age several more years before bottling. The wine takes on a Tawny hue. Wood and nutty tones are evident on the palate due to the wine’s slow ageing in old casks. Colheita goes well with dry fruits desserts and the portuguese "Leite Creme queimado". As a starter, the combination with foie gras is impressive</p>
<p></p><p><span>LBV Ports fill the gap between Ruby and Vintage Ports, as Rubies should be drunk quite young and a Vintage Port may need 15 to 20 years to really open up and show its splendor</span></p>
<p></p><p><span>Quinta do Ventozelo is one of the largest and oldest Douro Quintas. It has been passing through different hands over the centuries, hands that shaped it and transformed it to what it is today.</span></p>
<p></p><p>In Terras Durienses, with a strong influence in Baixo Corgo, the 4 brothers from a traditional family joined their knowledge and passion for the region, in the creation of "MÃOS".</p>
<p></p><p>With around 600ha spread over 5 farms, Casa de Arrochella is part of the new generation of producers of D.O.C. Douro and olive oils D.O.P. Trás-os-Monte</p>
<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 Symington family, with Scottish, English and Portuguese ancestry has been present in the Douro for five generations — since 1882 — and through the current generation’s great grandmother, the family’s links to the wines of the Douro span 14 generations, to the mid-17th century and to the very beginnings of the history of Port</p>
<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Passagem wine is a joint venture between Jorge Moreira (Poeira) and the Bergqvist family and comes from Quinta de Bandeiras, a 100 hectare property located in the Douro Superior. This wines are produved in Quinta de Bandeiras</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
<p></p><p>At the height of 640 meters, in the heart of the "Douro International Park", the DOURO COLINAS project was born.<br />It is in the abrupt transition of the granites of the plateau and the first folds of shale to the river Douro that is, among cliffs and cliffs, the farm with 450ha of which 106ha of vineyard.</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta de Sá de Baixo is located in Sedielos, municipality of Peso da Régua. </p> <p>The white wines, fermented at low temperatures with total destemming, are subject to less ageing and are bottled young, in order to preserve the balance between acidity and fruit achieved during vinification.</p>
<p></p><p>It all began in 1918 when on 15 August, a few months before the Armistice, Manoel Domingues Poças Júnior, born in the heart of the Port Wine hustle and bustle, decided to establish his own company.<br />With his uncle, he created a company to sell grape spirits to large Port Wine shippers. Soon afterwards he opened the head offices in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they remain to this date.<br />Today, with three quintas in the best winemaking areas of the Douro Demarcated Region, Poças ensures its total control over the quality of its wines and the family is more involved than ever before</p>
