Quinta das Maias Branco 2020 Organic

€ 13.50

Quinta das Maias was founded in 1893 at the foot of the Serra de Estrela (star mountain). The name comes from the yellow gorse that grow on the slopes of the mountain and are called 'Maya' (May). The 15 hectares of vineyards consist of different plots and are all organic. The high altitude gives a nice acidity to the wine.

In the nose Granny Smith apples, lemon and lime supplemented with a beautiful floral aroma, such as lilies or other white flowers. Unbelievably fresh in the mouth. The taste of apple and citrus continues in the mouth with an extra touch of passion fruit in the aftertaste.

Grapes: Malvasia Fina, Encruzado

Quinta das Maias is a fantastic little wine farm situated 600 metres above sea level on a high plateau in the Dao region of Portugalwho are certified organic. Luis Lourenco who runs the estate is proud of this fact and also of his excellent wines which not only offer great, approachable drinkability but also fantastic value for money. The estate was originally planted to vines in the late 19th century, and since changes in law which allow producers more freedom to bottle their own wines, quality has improved drastically, and forward thinking producers like Luis have come to realise the potential of the fantastic granitic terroir, and the delicious local grapes varieties, Jaen, Encruzado and Malvasia Fina.
