<p></p><p>All ports at Quinta de la Rosa are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that is often associated with ports. As in their wines, they search for balance, harmony and equilibrium from their vineyards and they try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin</p>

<p></p><p>In the oldest wine region in the world, the Quinta da Penalva or Perdiz was born in the 1990s. This arose from the joining of small plots of land, mostly old vines, inherited from ancestors for whom the cultivation of vines was of little secret, as they had always done it. Later, and already with the current owner, more parcels were added, thus joining the old vines to new plantations, cultivated using the most recent planting techniques</p>

<p></p><p>Vinha do Carril Red Wine is the Niepoort family's latest iconic wine, from a centenary vineyard that surrounds the Nápoles estate in the upper Corgo. The natural heterogeneity of an old vineyard, the grape varieties that make it up and the stories that have lived through its 100 years of existence, mark its complexity and enhance the Douro as a region capable of producing world-class wines.</p> <p>Vinha do Carril shows displays a pale, bright red hue, with purple glints. On the nose, notes of cherry, rhubarb, fresh herbs, spices, and floral nuances mingle with a subtle smoky character and hints of graphite which lend the wine the typical complexity of a red wine grown in the Douro’s schist soils. The palate showcases Niepoort’s signature elegant structure, freshness and acidity. It finishes long, with an almost spicy note and beautiful elegance and acidity</p>

<p></p><p>The Proibido and Permitido wines of the producer and oenologist Marcio Lopes , have more and more a common denominator: Minimum intervention both in the vineyard and the cellar. Respect what the vine gives, and try to make the transformation of the grapes into wine as natural as possible</p>

<p></p><p>Menin Maria Fernada Red Wine</p> <p>Each bottle of ‘Maria Fernanda’ contains not just a wine, but a journey. It is the result of a unique alchemy, where the nobility of the Douro's terraces meets the courage of the hands that have moulded the land over the centuries. Each vintage is a masterpiece in a different chapter of this wine narrative ‘without beginning or end’.</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta dos Avidagos has a wide range of wines that goes from Avidagos White, Red and Rosé, Quinta dos Avidagos Tinto Reserva, Quinta do Além Tanha Tinto and Quinta dos Avidagos Grande Reserva Tinto. The indigenous varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, for the reds and Gouveio, Rabigato and Viosinho for white, allow them to achieve all the personality and character of the terroirs of the Douro. Combining cutting-edge winemaking with the traditional foot treading in granite mills (lagares), the aim is to produce wines with excellent value money with recognized quality worldwide, international profile and the nature of their homeland. The excellence of the wine culture, the use of traditional varieties, as well as the structural conditions of the region and the human project, has constituted the secret of success. The Douro is actually unique, singular. The wines deserve attention from critics regarding the quality and sales, both domestically and in export markets, have increased. It is the wish of the Quinta dos Avidagos also to join to the existing range of products, a Port wine in the future</p> <p></p>
