5/ 5

<p></p><p>Approach at Quinta de Cottas is to capture the essence of the Douro Valley’s premier vineyards producing wines with high quality, distinct personality that pair well with food and are accessibly priced.<br />Quinta de Cottas house style is the blend of the vineyards with the winery’s personality and winemaking priorities, as expressed through the wines. Although the wines are different in each vintage, a thread of similarity ties them together</p>

<p></p> <p>A 23-year-old winemaker and an English winemaker could only go wrong. "Portuguese winemaker António Maçanita and English consultant and winemaker David Booth met in early 2004. Over the next few months, Antonio was already learning viticulture with David and a great friendship developed. The next step would be to make wine. First wine, first success, with the Alentejo Trophy at the International Wine Challenge, awarded for the second time in 22 years of competition</p>

<p>The Herdade Papa Leite C50 Rosé Wine is best served at a temperature of 8º- 10º C, making it a perfect aperitif before a meal or a delightful drink to enjoy while watching the sunset. It can also be paired with a light meal, be it a lobster salad, a Caesar salad, or a dish of fish or seafood, whether grilled or cooked. The wine was created from grapes grown in clay and limestone-schist soils, harvested by hand on August 27, and transported in 10 kg boxes to prevent crushing. The fermentation process took place in a stainless steel vat for three weeks, with a controlled fermentation temperature of 14º C. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with fine lees until April 2024, further enhancing its unique flavor profile.</p>
