A Portuguese queen

From the beautiful Douro valley north in Portugal comes this gem of a wine. Made by talented winemaker Claudia Quevedo this concentrated and intense wine resembles many of the top Burgundies we love. 

The family owned winery produces a famous port wine, in addition to whites and reds. Claudia’s wines are quickly gaining recognition around the globe, so now might be a great time to check them out. 

This bottle is made from a variety of hand picked grapes, that is stored in old French oak barrels. The mix of Gouveio 29%, Rabigato 31%, Côdega do Larinho 11%, Viosinho 29% gives the wine great complexity and will age excellent for up to 10 years. 

Tasting notes

​Claudia's Quevedo 2019 - 245kr

Light yellow colour.
Delicious smells of cantaloupe melons, yellow tropic fruits, honey, toast and light pepper spices.
Very juicy and round in the mouth, with flavours of citrus, tropical fruits, roasted hazelnuts, white pepper and some butter. Complex and long, with great acidity and playful mouth feel.

With food
A very versatile food wine. Will be lovely with light pork dishes, a rich chicken stew, Coq Au Vin or fish with butter sauce.

This is a lot of wine for the price. Great buy!
