Quinta Do Monte Xisto Oriente Biológico Tinto

Description

Quinta do Monte Xisto Oriente is a wine from two small parcels exposed to Nascente, one planted with Tinto Cão and the other with Tinta Francisca, producing a fresh and light wine that is lightly colored, full of elegance and spice notes. Quinta do Monte Xisto, by Nicolau de Almeida, stands out in the Upper Douro, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, thanks to its location on the left bank of the Douro River and its Mediterranean/Continental microclimate. Surrounded by the Marão and Montemuro mountains, it offers ideal conditions for distinctive wines. With a focus on diversity, the family practices organic farming, fostering a sustainable ecosystem that includes forest, olive groves, almond trees, and orchards. Preventive measures such as infusions and natural fertilisation align with the quest for self‑sufficiency, while viticulture blends ancestral wisdom and scientific knowledge to achieve harmony between human practices and nature.
