Quinta do Portal Description
Quinta do Portal is a family fine winemaking company that embraced with passion the “Boutique Winery” concept. Today we are the 5th generation of the Mansilha family producing wines in the Pinhão river valley. Our family has been producing Port wine in the Pinhão valley since 1881, but it has been in the Douro at least since 1477, when the King of Portugal D. Afonso V grants a portion of land (Comenda de Oliveira) to the noble D. Afonso de Mansilha. The adventure with the Douro wines started in 1994.
Made with a very carefully winemaking, using gravity and precise techniques. Concentrated ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruit and some floral notes in perfect harmony with some toast from the oak. Expressive on the palate, with fine acidity and a pleasant fruity aftertaste. The final is long and complex and will develop further with more time in bottle.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Still young, this ripe and densely fruity wine is set for some fine aging. With its structured black fruits that are striated with minerality and cut by juicy acidity, it is dense and has a vibrant texture.
