Quanta Terra Gran Reserva Blanco

Renowned Douro  winemakers, Jorge Alves and Celso Peirera were looking for the perfect terroir to express Douro’s full character. For several years they researched and ran detailed micro- trials in 10 different sites of the Cimo Corgo sub-region and Tua River sector of the Douro Superior . In 1999, they released their first wines which rapidly won international recognition.

The grapes come from vines growing on granitic soils at 600 meters altitude on the plateau of  Alijó.

The wine is matured in 500 litre French oak barrels for a year before bottling.

Grape: Gouverio, Viosinho
