Quinta Da Vacaria Reserva Branco

Descrição

The Quinta da Vacaria Reserva Branco is an elegant wine, with a lemon‑yellow colour, crafted from a blend of Arinto, Viosinho and Rabigato grapes that reveal freshness and complexity. On the nose, aromas of exotic fruit emerge, harmonised with vanilla and wood notes, all very well integrated. On the palate it is full‑bodied, with lively acidity and a long finish. Quinta da Vacaria, one of the oldest estates in the region (first record dates to 1616), is situated on the banks of the Douro River next to the town of Régua, in the heart of the world’s oldest demarcated region, the Douro. At the estate’s quay, Rabelo boats docked to load baskets full of Port wine and transport them to Gaia at the river mouth, where they were sold wholesale worldwide, leaving behind their hidden identity as these wooden barrels were not even marked with the producer’s seal. At the destination, the wine was bottled and labelled with the brand of the foreign merchants who acquired it, some of whom eventually gained considerable prestige. (illustrative image only)
