Quinta Dos Lagares Vv44 Tinto

Description

This is the flagship of Quinta dos Lagares, a red wine made from grapes sourced from the estate’s Vinha Velha, planted in 1944. After careful selection and traditional winemaking in granite vats, it displays a deep violet hue. Notes of black cherry and bergamot, wrapped in elegant oak aging, shine on the palate. The Lencart family has owned the property since 1920; Quinta dos Lagares lies in Vale de Mendiz on the left bank of the Rio Pinhão, within the Demarcated Region of the Douro. Spanning 70 hectares, the estate produces wine and olive oil, cultivating about 27 hectares of vineyards with traditional Douro varieties. Since 2007, Pedro Lencart and Isabel Sarmento have steered this beautiful Quinta, which still retains its granite vats on the ground floor of a house dating from the late 18th century. The wines produced here reflect the family’s commitment to preserving ancestral winemaking methods and the region’s typical varieties. (Illustrative image only)
