O Produtor, tasting note published in May 5th 2021
Intense citrine colour with greenish reflections. The nose reveals an unusual complexity, peach and ripe orange aromas,
some wet stone mineral, all wrapped in soft smoked notes. Notorious volume in the mouth, full-bodied but elegant and harmonious.
It finishes with crisp citrus freshness that gives it persistence and longevity.
Manual selection of the grapes at the entrance of the winery. Total destemming, and cold pellicular maceration of 8 hours. Soft pneumatic pressing, followed by fermentation in light toasted
French oak barrels, light toast, at a controlled temperature of 15ºC.
Aged for 12 months “sur lies” in new French oak barrels of 500L
Contains sulphites.

The oldest historical records of Quinta da Rede date from 1484. It is part of the Douro wine region even before the 1756 demarcation. The Quinta overlooks the Douro River on its right bank, between Mesão Frio and Régua, an altitude of between 90 and 140 metres. It is renowned for being the place where fishing nets (meaning Rede) once stretched from one side of the Douro River to the other. Quinta da Rede belongs to the magnificent Douro wine-growing landscape that has been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage.
Quinta da Rede has a privileged location in the Douro, next to the river and where white and red Reserva and Grande Reserva wines are produced.
José Alves, the owner, acquired the quinta in 1995, in order to set his project in motion, which aims to change in some way the way in which the vineyards and wines of the Douro are worked, produced and promoted.
More ideas to cement and extend the brand to external markets and clients will be presented here soon.
We want our clients and friends to be aware of everything that is happening at Quinta da Rede and with its wines.
