Recently arrived on the market, the 2013 harvest of 'Quinta da Costa das Aguaneiras' has just been doubly distinguished by Wine Enthusiast : 90 points and the ' Editor's Choice ' seal. With the signature of Lavradores de Feitoria, it is a wine of character, 'mature and full-bodied,' according to Roger Voss, responsible for evaluating Portuguese nectars in this North American magazine, with 800 thousand readers worldwide and a reference among oenophiles, critics and wine enthusiasts.
A wine without any tricks, which stands out as the only “farm wine” in the Lavradores de Feitoria portfolio. The essence and peculiarity of a single terroir, reflected in the typical Douro in the bottle. From a single vineyard, the 'Quinta da Costa das Aguaneiras red 2013' caught Roger Voss's attention due to its notes of spices and vanilla, which come from the aging in wood to which it was subjected. The presence of fruit, particularly blackcurrant, and its acidity bode well for a bright future. Voss believes that this nectar will gain a lot with time in the bottle.
A reflection of the Cima Corgo sub-region, the 'Quinta da Costa das Aguaneiras red 2013' has a bright, intense and deep red colour, which conveys the sensation of a true Douro wine. The Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, from vines aged between 30 and 60 years, give it exuberant and primary aromas, making it a balanced, complex and powerful wine.
