Quinta do Couquinho Harvest 2021

Quinta do Couquinho, with over two centuries of history linked to the Melo Trigo family, reflects the tradition and winemaking excellence of the Alto Douro. Located in the emblematic Vilariça Valley, this property preserves the authenticity of the region, where stories and legends intertwine with family heritage.

The Couquinho Colheita 2021 wine is a true expression of the Douro terroir, made from grapes meticulously hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness. The vinification process in stainless steel vats allows the best constituents of the grape skins to be gently extracted, resulting in a wine with a deep purple color, floral aromas of violets, and a rich presence of red fruits, such as strawberries and cherries. The aging in barrels adds layers of complexity, with subtle notes of coffee, cocoa and toasted wood.

In the mouth, it reveals a well-balanced structure, with present but silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives it freshness and longevity. The typical minerality of the Douro is present, leading to a voluminous, persistent and enveloping finish.

The recognition and awards won by Couquinho Colheita 2021 are a testament to Quinta do Couquinho’s commitment to producing excellent wines. Each bottle carries with it the soul of the Douro, providing a unique sensory experience to national and international wine lovers.
