A new Douro underlined by history.
For many years, the tradition at Quinta de São Luiz was to paint the stone walls white. These white walls are pieces of history that are
cherished to this day and underline the Douro landscape in a unique way. Pieces of history that sustain the vines and uphold the know-how of many generations.
Kopke has now decided to pay homage to this exquisite terroir by bringing back the tradition of painting the stone walls white and
labelling its DOC Douro wines São Luiz. It is the merging of the past with the present that confers a unique character to these wines.
Taste the history of this underlined Douro.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
The harvest of Viosinho was made by the end of August. Arinto and Folgozão were harvested in the beginning of September, by hand and
directly to small capacity boxes. Maceration with skins for approximately 24 hours, with fermentation in french oak barrels.
Matured for 6 months in the same barrels with bâtonnage method.
TASTING NOTES
A remarkable opulent nose of tropical fruit and subtle notes of smoke from the wood barrel. Striking on the palate for its perfect
balance between creaminess and acidity. An engaging and persistent finish.
