Blogger J@n31r0, tasting note published in 03/08/2021

Citrine yellow colour, less extracted than expected, slightly greenish tone, limpid and young appearance. On the nose a lot of subtlety of aromas with notes of ripe citrus fruit, well flanked by the more mineral side, chipped stone, silex, some vegetable, very fresh. Mouth to show a lot of elegance, medium volume, with a very well achieved acidity, good amplitude, it grows as time goes by, showing again the freshness of the fruit and the profile as a whole, finishing long and elegant.

About this Winery

The name comes from Grandfather, but it is his son and grandchildren who are boosting the wines of this beautiful farm in the Douro, helped by the well-known winemaker Luís Pato. The project began in 2008, and today, Quinta do Pôpa brings together 14 hectares of vineyards, made up of a mixture of noble red grape varieties, all letter A, including Tinta Roriz, accompanied by Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Malvasia Preta, with Touriga Nacional standing out in a large percentage, in addition to the three hectares of old vines over 60 years old. A project based on a family structure, which unites different generations, which is reflected in the production process itself, in which the most sophisticated techniques are reconciled with centuries of rigorous tradition, such as winemaking through foot treading in granite presses at a controlled temperature; and in building a brand with personality and quality, created through its history and the harmonious marriage between the land and the climate that its terroir has to offer.
