Two’s company it takes two to tango two heads are better than one yin requires its balancing partner yang… So why are there so many single estate wines?
Douro’s Port experts Ramos Pinto - with guidance from owners Champagne Louis Roederer - are onto something with this exceptional white. Grapes come from a pair of vastly different estates hence the name Duas Quintas (Two Estates). The low altitude Quinta de Ervamoira is warm and dry producing rich ripe and full-bodied wine. Approximately half a kilometre higher in the cool and airy hills Quinta dos Bons Ares yields wines with nervy energy refreshing acidity and wildly exotic aromatics. Blending these two creates a wine from two estates with a singular beauty and phenomenal balance.
A tiny proportion of this Douro Supérieur Branco is aged in French oak (10%); the majority is kept crisp and pure using stainless steel. Wine Advocate has previously noted that “this quality for this price is a very fine bargain” and Jancis Robinson’s colleague Richard Hemming MW agreed: “This is a great advert for how the Douro gets such freshness and flavour ripeness into one glass.” Harvey Nichols thinks you will definitely be wanting two glasses.
Duas Quintas forms a magical combination with seafood and tzatziki salty goat’s cheese or feta salads with salty additions like anchovies and capers or chunky pasta with romesco sauce and plump green olives.
