Tasting Notes


A vibrant, clear ruby red.

On the nose dominated by fresh red fruits and plum. It features black pepper, cloves, and a subtle balsamic lift.

On the palate medium-bodied and remarkably "fresh". You’ll find layers of forest fruits, tobacco, and an earthy minerality. The tannins are firm and well integrated, providing enough structure for several years of aging.

The finish is deep and persistent, with a "crunchy" acidity that makes it very easy to drink despite its complexity.

Serving Tips: Best served slightly cool, around 16°C to 18°C (60-64 °F)

Food pairing: It goes well with Meats: Grilled lamb chops, beef stew, or roast duck. Vegetarian dishes, such as mushroom, lentil stew. Cheese: Aged cheeses like Manchego.

The 2022 Quinta da Costa do Pinhão “Gradual” is a fresh, elegant red from the Pinhão Valley in the Douro, made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. Red fruit and plum meet black pepper, clove and a subtle balsamic lift. The palate is medium-bodied and lively, with forest fruits, tobacco and an earthy minerality, firm, well-integrated tannins and a crunchy acidity that keeps it very easy to drink. It is available for delivery across Florida.

Quinta da Costa do Pinhão is a family estate run by Miguel Morais, the seventh generation of a grape-growing family. After studying civil engineering in Porto, he returned to the vineyards in 2007 and fell in love with the family estate. It covers 24 hectares, 17 of them planted with vines, and is farmed organically and home to more than 25 native Portuguese grape varieties. The grapes are picked by hand in early September and fermented with native yeasts, partly in traditional schist lagares where they are crushed by foot, with 40% whole clusters. The rest ferments in stainless steel, and the wine then finishes its malolactic fermentation and ages for 12 months in French oak.

Why buy it: this is a Douro red for people who prefer freshness over power. It is made with a light touch, with old-vine complexity and high-altitude freshness, and it is very good value for what is in the bottle. It is an easy wine to share and a great way to see the new, elegant side of the Douro.

When to open it: a dinner of grilled lamb chops, beef stew or roast duck, or something vegetarian like mushroom or lentil stew. It is also lovely with an aged cheese like Manchego. Serve it slightly cool, at 60-64°F (16-18°C). It is ready to enjoy now and drinks well through 2032.
