(at Wines of Portugal annual tasting, London, 20 Feb 2019)
Drinking Window: 2019 - 2020
Quinta das Maias is an organic estate owned by Quinta dos Roques, which farms 35ha of vines at more than 1,500m in the Serra da Estrella foothills. This pretty, unoaked white is a blend of old-vine Malvasia Fina with Cerceal, Gouveio and Encruzado. Packed with juicy peach and mandarin flavours on a mid-weight palate, it's a well-priced, food-friendly bottle to have on standby in the fridge.
