Quinta Nova Pomares Douro 2011 (750ML)

A blend of Viosinho, Gouveio and Rabigato. The nose is lean and citrusy, delivering pink grapefruit and tropical star fruit. On the palate, it's quite silkly and nicely balanced against an acidic backbone. Fine minerality and lengthiness to the finish. -GVWM Team

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a unique place that runs along the north bank of the river Douro for just short of one mile. Of its 296 acres, 210 are planted with letter A vines. The Quinta includes a manor house, now a hotel, that dates back to the early 18th century; a baroque chapel; an olive mill and a winery. Surrounded by the stunning orchards and vineyards, the Quinta deeply reflects the Douro agriculture tradition. -Importer
