Quinta do Monte Xisto is located in the Douro Demarcated Region, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa. It is a family project where the perspectives and technical knowledge of two generations of winemakers come together. Thus, João Nicolau de Almeida e Filhos was born, continuing the family's secular presence in Douro wines.
Seductive as always! Intense ruby color, we bring our nose close to the glass and the aroma is discovered little by little. First, the rockrose and juniper stand out, progressing to a universe of freshness seasoned by aromatic herbs. It then appears alive and full of fruit. In the mouth it attacks with volume, a soft sphere surrounded by soft tannins slides towards a long and fresh finish.
