Quinta do Portal - 29 Grapes - Ruby Reserve
Quinta do Portal is located in the Douro region of Portugal . The estate is dedicated to the production of Douro wines, Port wines, Moscatel and olive oil. The family-owned and independent business was created in the early 1990s on Quinta dos Muros, a century-old property of the Mansilha family , where Port wine has been produced there for 4 generations. The vineyards of Quinta do Portal are conducted according to the principles of sustainable agriculture , in order to guarantee the protection of the environment. In May 2022, photovoltaic panels were installed with the aim of producing 50% of the Quinta's electricity needs. During the harvest, the CO2 produced is reused during fermentation to inert the lagares and the vats.
29 Grapes Ruby Reserve is made from traditional Douro grape varieties such as Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional.
