O Produtor, tasting note published in February 21st 2023
Made from grapes harvested at Quinta de Monforte, from the Alvarinho variety. It reveals notes of peach, white flowers, and citrus nuances, beautifully integrated with subtle oak, completing a highly complex aromatic profile.
On the palate, it shows great quality, with tension, freshness, creaminess, and texture, leading to a long and complex finish.
VINIFICATION: The must from whole-cluster pressed grapes is cooled to 10 ºC to allow static decantation.
The clean must begins fermentation at a controlled temperature of 17 ºC in stainless steel tanks. Halfway through fermentation, the wine is transferred to new 500 L French oak barrels, where fermentation is completed and ageing continues with bâtonnage for 12 months.
This is followed by 14 months of bottle ageing.

Quinta de Monforte
In one of the oldest and most historic cities in Portugal, Penafiel, you will find the current Quinta de Monforte, situated on a distinctive slope in the heart of the Vinho Verde region. Between the 17th and 20th centuries, it belonged to some of the most illustrious families in Portugal and was acquired in 2014 by the family that initiated a comprehensive set of transformations and innovations on the forty hectares of the estate. This created an opportunity to apply the most modern winemaking practices, combined with the protection of the ecosystem, respecting the sustainability and biodiversity of nature.
Light and fresh, as dictated by the Vinho Verde region, the wines of Quinta de Monforte stand out for their unique identity, adding greater minerality, complexity, and structure.
