The Duas Quintas brand is synonymous with a blend of highland and lowland soils, maturity and freshness, schist and granite. The Duas Quintas Reserva white is made from a selection of grape varieties with personality, high natural acidity and remarkable aromatic complexity, a wine with structure to be enjoyed while young and which can evolve well during the ageing process. A wine that conveys the potential of Ramos Pinto's estate vineyards. 

The grapes from the best plots are hand-harvested at Quinta de Ervamoira and Quinta dos Bons Ares. Following cold maceration of the grape bunches for a period of 24 hours, the must is obtained by careful, soft pressing The clean must ferments in stainless steel vats (75%) and in French and Austrian oak barrels (25%) of various capacities and then ages for 9 months on fine lees. This wine was bottled in May 2021.

Pale yellow in color with golden reflexes. Subtle aromas of sweet flower appear on first impact, becoming more mature after the wine has breathed a little, with aromas of grape and yellow fruits such as pear and apricot. At a deeper level there is a blend of fresher aromas such as boxwood, with special smoky notes from the ageing in oak barrels lending a sensation of comfort to the wine's aromatic complexity. In the mouth it maintains a balance and elegance with a long finish, presenting a freshness that is surprising considering the heat of 2020.

2020 was a year with an early vegetative cycle due to the mild temperatures in late winter and early spring. Although the amount of rainfall up to May was higher than the previous year, the end of spring and the entire summer were very hot and dry. Despite the slower maturation due to the summer's high temperatures, the white grapes withstood the heat valiantly, and were harvested with great aromatic potential, having maintained a very interesting level of acidity. 2020 was a year of low production, although highlighted by the intensity of the fruit and the volume of the wines.

Ideal as an aperitif to enjoy this wine’s elegance and harmony. We recommend serving it with shellfish, octopus dishes or with fish. It is excellent with goat’s cheese. The ideal serving temperature is 55ºF and 59ºF.
