“This wine comes in years when quality can come out of the family and be shared with some oenophiles. The smallness of the vineyard dominated by the Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Syrah varieties gives rise to a garage wine that has been cared for by Vera Moreira, Quinta do Gradil winemaker, by António Ventura, Parras Vinhos consultant winemaker of the Year 2015 by Revista de Vinhos), and by myself », says Aníbal Coutinho, about the reasons that led him to create this wine ten years ago.
ESCONDIDA
Winemaker Aníbal Coutinho launches the first edition of Escondido white wine, made from grapes from a 10-year-old vineyard, planted between Sintra and Mafra, which benefits from the advantages of a microclimate strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean.
The small hillside vineyard, on limestone slabs, where the grapes that give rise to the white wine designated by the winemakers of ESCONDIDA are born and grown is a small farm that is difficult to access, a privileged place for leisure and vacations of the Ávila-Coutinho family.
