**Quinta d'Azinheira** **Region:** Douro – Baixo Corgo sub‑region The Quinta D’Azinheira produces wines in the place of Azinheira (Santa Marta de Peneguião), located in an extraordinarily beautiful amphitheater on the left bank of the Rio Corgo, exclusively from its own grapes grown and tended on the estate at elevations between 300 and 400 m. **Soils** are loamy with high stoniness. **Winemaking:** Fresh grapes are hand‑picked into 20‑kg crates, transported to the cellar and subjected to rigorous selection, destemming, and pressing in a vertical press.

The wine ages for eight months in French oak barrels with bâtonnage and is bottled in May 2025. **Winemaker:** Luís Leocádio **Analytical data** - Total acidity: 7.3 g L⁻¹ - Volatile acidity: 0.30 g L⁻¹ - pH: 3.05 - Sugars: 0.1 g L⁻¹ - Total dry extract: 26 g L⁻¹ **Food pairing:** Ideal with fatty fish, intensely flavored shellfish, and fine charcuterie. **Awards:** Silver Medal – Vinduero 2025 **SKU:** 107843
