2019 Duas Quintas White
Around 200,000 bottles per year are sold of the Duas Quintas white. The two quintas which contribute grapes to the wine are Bons Ares and Ervamoira. Very pale green colour. Gently herbaceous and pineapple nose. Dry on the palate, quite acidic; quite a big wine full of grapefruit power and acidity. Good grapefruit finish and a very big, very persistent finish. An impressive wine. 50% of the blend is rabigato. 89/100. Open 30 minutes. Tasted 25-Nov-2021.
