Quinta da Franquiera

Main Menu < Wines by Country < Portugal < Portuguese Wine <

Quinta da Franqueira Blanco, Barcelos

Ref: 72013

Price: £7.52

Quantity:

An estate-bottled wine from a small family-owned Quinta, that is fully committed to producing classic vinho verde.

Piers Gallie has six Ha of Loureiro (65%), Trajadura (30%) and Azal. The grape varieties are harvested and pressed separately. The juice is fermented cool with selected locally developed yeasts. The resulting wine is allowed to settle and cooled to preserve its freshness and slight sparkle until bottled. Only the best cuvées are selected for Quinta da Franqueira. Loureiro makes up the greater part of the blend but that may vary depending on the harvest conditions.

Unfortunately due to a very disappointing '99 harvest Piers has decided that the quality was not bottling standard. Consequently we will have to wait until April 2001 for the 2000 Quinta da Franqueira.

You can also enjoy staying at Quinta da Franqueira with a choice of six imaginatively decorated bedrooms, by Pier's wife Kate, in the north wing of the monastery or the Gate House apartments
