Producer Description
The estate Quinta de Curvos has history going back more than four centuries with many legends and estf3rias (to use the old Portuguese word for "stories") that date to its founding, many of them told through the diverse surroundings, from the old manor house to the caves, and when passing by the lake, the gardens and the vineyards. Winemaker Antf3nio Sousa is increasingly successful here. The vines tend to be fairly young, but the wines are very fine, wonderfully priced and rather serious. They are all basically real table wines, with structure and acidity. With minor exceptions, they are all dry, unoaked and still. (Only the "Superior" has some forced carbonation, but not much. Only the Colheita Seleccionada is listed as "off-dry" and "partly oaked," but again-not by much). They are all fine bargains. Just go down the list and buy some of everything.
NOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
ORIGINS
Quinta do Seixo Vintage is a unique expression of this renowned estate, where a combination of soil, slope inclination, sun exposure and reduced amount of available water contribute to the production of intense and complex wines.The 100-year-old vines producing Port create wines full of intensity, character and freshness.
