The Duas Quintas name 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 date of the harvest of each vineyard is decided after tasting the grapes in the field several times in succession. Once the decision is made, the grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winemaking centre in small boxes, separated by variety and vineyard Whole bunches undergo cold maceration for approximately 24 hours. The fresh grapes are gently pressed and the must transferred to the underground vats, where decanting takes place. About 90% of the wine ferments in stainless steel vats and the remaining 10% in French and Austrian oak casks of varying capacities This wine was bottled in May 2021

Clear and bright, pale yellow in color. Expressive on the nose, with notes of mature citrus fruits, like lemon. Upon aeration, other aromas of peach and apricot appear, always with an underlying sensation of freshness. It is full in the mouth with the riper fruits in great evidence. A long finish with mineral freshness balancing the wine to perfection. 

2020 was marked by a very early growing cycle due to the mild temperatures in late winter and early spring. Although there was more rainfall than last year up to the month of May, the end of spring and the entire summer were very hot and dry. Despite accelerated maturation due to the high temperatures, the white grapes firmly withstood the heat and were picked with optimum aromatic potential, preserving a very interesting level of acidity. 2020 is a year with very low production but one in which the fruit is intensely aromatic. 

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