O Produtor, tasting note published in February 14th 2020
Toasted yellow colour. Notes of wax, dry straw, fruitiness reminiscent of persimmon. In the mouth it has an astonishing texture, it is long and rich, firm acidity and some salinity.
With a deep commitment to upsetting the status quo and bringing viticulture back to its forgotten roots in our region, the current generation at Morgado do Quintão is trying to shape a new perspective on Algarve wine, seizing an opportunity to nurture the land where the vine first came to the Iberian Peninsula. Manual harvest, destemmed grapes, skin maceration for 45 days with manual treading. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperature for 25 days. Cold stabilisation and ageing in stainless steel for six months.

Morgado do Quintão
Wildly enveloped by the pastoral verdure of the Algarvian Barrocal, Morgado do Quintão was founded in the early 1800s by the Count of Silves, and still remains in the same family, one whose unerring and resilient passion for the land, food, adventure and entertaining merges with a love of local heritage, beauty and conservation.
