RAMOS PINTO DUAS QUINTAS WHITE

Overview
The Duas Quintas name is synonymous with a blend of highland and lowland soils, maturity and freshness,
schist and granite. The Duas Quintas white is made from a selection of grape varieties with personality, high
natural acidity and remarkable aromatic complexity, a wine with structure to be enjoyed while young and
which can evolve well during the ageing process. A wine that conveys the potential of Ramos Pinto’s estate
vineyards.
Winemaking
The date of the harvest of each vineyard is decided after tasting the grapes in the field several times in
succession. Once the decision is made, the grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winemaking
centre in small boxes, separated by variety and vineyard Whole bunches undergo cold maceration for
approximately 24 hours. The fresh grapes are gently pressed and the must transferred to the underground
vats, where decanting takes place. About 90% of the wine ferments in stainless steel vats and the remaining
10% in French and Austrian oak casks of varying capacities This wine was bottled in May 2023.
Tasting Notes
Clear and bright, straw yellow in color with golden lights. Very expressive and mature. Has aromas of apricot,
pineapple and further down delicate and fresh aromas of bergamot and orange blossom. In the mouth the
volume and concentrated aromas of ripe fruit and sweet flowers stand out. A long fresh and fruity finish with
the harmony to which we have become accustomed from the grapes of these two quintas.
Harvest Notes
The 2022 wine year was extremely dry, with less than half the rainfall of the previous year. At Quinta de
Ervamoira, the summer was slightly milder than in Quinta dos Bons Ares, where temperatures were very high
from late spring until the end of the summer. Despite the high temperatures and the severe drought, which
aided the health of the grapes, maturation was out of the ordinary, with less sugar. leading to lower alcohol
levels and less acidity. but greater concentration and volume. It was a hard year, in viticultural terms, yet Duas
Quintas White 2022 is a wine with finely balanced freshness, concentration and fruit.
Food Pairing
Ideal as an aperitif to enjoy this wine’s elegance and harmony. We recommend serving it with shellfish, sea
urchin, octopus dishes or with fish. It is excellent with goat’s cheese. The ideal serving temperature is 55ºF
and 59ºF.
