We went to the highest slopes in the top of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo to pick the grapes that mature more slowly and maintain greater freshness and linearity, and to create the Quinta Nova Blanc de Noir, a Reserva white wine made from red grapes.
The beautiful Tinta Roriz grapes are the first to enter our winery. We harvest them at their perfect maturation point, so that we can extract all the components that make this wine unique and sublime.
Classicism combined with modern winemaking, this Reserve
white wine from Quinta Nova is a thrilling wine that awakens all our senses.

Tasting Note: A white wine made from red grapes, 100% Tinta Roriz, sourced from the highest vineyards of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Its color is striking, with a pale citrine hue.
On the nose, it reveals a wide array of wild berry aromas, blended with stone fruit, along with citrus and floral notes, all coming together in a magical, vibrant, and enigmatic complexity. On the palate, it shows a growing creaminess, remaining fresh and seductive, forming an extremely complex profile with multiple textures. Its aging in used French oak
barrels and raw cement is evident, resulting in a remarkable wine - fresh, tense, and seemingly endless - just as great wines should be, balancing classicism with modern winemaking. This Blanc de Noir Reserva from Quinta Nova is an emotional wine that awakens all the senses.
