Quinta do Rol Unoaked Reserva 2012 White Wine

5/ 5

<p></p><p>In keeping with the family tradition of several generations of Quinta de Golães, we have made this wine from grapes of the Alvarinho variety (more than 85%), in association with two other queen grape varieties, in the fifth and in the region - Loureiro and Trajadura. Combining old strains and new vines, in the unique terroir of this region, we obtained this wine of excellence: "the alvarinho da quinta". Citrus-colored and complex aroma, with pear notes and a little floral touch, resulting from the combination of the three varieties, we can taste a full-bodied, balanced and fresh wine. </p>

<p></p><p>The history of the family business João M. Barbosa is recent but the personal experience acquired is already a lot. And it is from this experience that the project was born with a sui generis concept that promises to offer the best and to surprise wine lovers. Surprise through the wine itself, sharing new wine experiences, new grape varieties and new blends </p>

<p></p><p><span>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. <span>The Port shipping business was continued by Bruno’s son, John da Silva who in 1862 brought into partnership Frederick William Cosens. <span>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. <span>In 1877, Silva &amp; Cosens merged with another leading Port company, Dow &amp; Co.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>Although smaller than Silva &amp; Cosens, Dow &amp; 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</span></span></span></span></span></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><span>Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognisable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house.</span></p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>
