A&D Curtimenta Orange Wine

A&D Quinta De Santa Teresa Curtimenta 2022

Prices start from £23.00 per bottle Buying options
Description

This smooth orange wine comes from a family-owned winery in Baiao, a small subregion inside Vinho Verde, Portugal. The grape, Avesso, is a rare indigenous variety considered the next star of the appellation. Quinta de Santa Teresa Curtimenta does a great job showcasing this exciting grape. The wine greets you with a gorgeous amber colour and generous aromas of mango, apricots, along with elegant hints of thyme, beeswax and almonds. With good structure, subtle tannins, as well as delicious flavours of dried and fresh apricots, it is a real joy to drink.

The vineyards are planted on granitic soils with some schist, at 200 metres above sea level. Harvested by hand, the grapes spent 2 weeks macerating on the skins, with natural fermentation in stainless steel. This was followed by 5 months on the lees and partial ageing in oak barrels for 6 months. The wine was bottled unfiltered.

Wine Origins

Portugal

Portugal is a real treasure trove of unique wines and indigenous grapes. Despite the ever changing trends, the country was reluctant to plant international varieties and managed to preserve its wine identity - which has evolved throughout 4,000 years of winemaking history. Today, Portuguese wines offer great value and a mind-blowing variety of styles, from crisp whites and lush orange wines to fruit-filled reds and sophisticated ports.

Avesso

Avesso is an indigenous Portuguese grape grown mainly in northern part of the country. It is one of the key grapes used for the crisp Vinho Verde wines. In Portuguese, Avesso means “reverse”, reflecting that this grape is lower in acid and higher in alcohol – the opposite of the other local white grapes. With captivating aromas of peaches and tropical fruits, Avesso is often called the next 'star grape' of Vinho Verde.
