“Quinta dos Lagares has everything needed to produce great Douro wines: new high altitude vineyards, old vineyards located at a lower elevation and with excellent exposure, a great diversity of grape varieties and, very importantly, a proven terroir.” This comprehensive look by the journalist serves to introduce the wine featured in the edition of Fugas magazine, Público newspaper, Quinta dos Lagares Reserva white 2017: “A blend of Rabigato and Viosinho, it originates from the plots that Quinta dos Lagares owns right on the edge of the Favaios plateau, at an altitude of around 600 meters. It’s a mature white, with barrel aging and excellent freshness. The toasted wood still stands out a little, but what deserves to be appreciated is the flavor and the bittersweet richness of the fruit, the breadth of the mouth, the good balance that the acidity ensures. If it’s this good, you can imagine what it would be like if it had more time in the cellar.”
