Bella Élégance
Quinta de Bella, covering 50 hectares (23 ha of vineyards), is fully committed to traditional, sustainable dry-farming viticulture. The grapes produced here are concentrated, flavourful, and marked by a striking minerality, resulting in wines with great aromatic complexity and rich texture.
The Bella Elegance range features single-varietal wines focused on fruit expression, ready to drink upon release. In contrast, the Grand Bella (top-tier) and Dom Bella (mid-range) collections showcase more structured wines, aged in oak and built for cellaring.
LOCATION: Portugal (IVV – Wines of Portugal). Sourced primarily from Quinta de Bella.
TERROIR: Continental climate, influenced by the Serra da Estrela mountains. Benefits from the proximity of the Dão River. The vineyards are densely planted (6250 vines/ha) in high-quality granite soils, often referred to as “rotten granite” or “noble granite”. All vineyards are dry-farmed.
VINIFICATION: Mechanized harvest. Gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Light bâtonnage for the first 4 months only. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve freshness. The wine remains in stainless steel until bottling. Released after a minimum of 3 months in bottle for better integration.
