Quinta Do Monte Xisto Oriente Tinto

Description

This wine, hailing from the southeastern-facing slopes of Quinta do Monte Xisto, certainly has a story to tell – a remarkably exotic one, at that. The colour, described as ‘open,’ hints at a straightforward journey, while the nose bursts with a fascinating duel between cherry and bilberry, punctuated by a subtle, evocative note of saffron, promising a truly ‘oriental’ experience. On the palate, the balance between fruit, acidity, and gentle tannins – as praised by Revista de Vinhos (18.5 points) – is exquisitely refined. It's a wine capable of adapting beautifully to various climates, and frankly, deserves a rich duck with plum sauce, wouldn't you agree?
