2020 Quanta Terra Grande Reserva Red 5 x 0.75L

DESCRIPTION
Both Celso Pereira and Jorge Alves could have the nickname ‘Quanta Terra’, if they weren’t the personification of the wine brand that this year celebrates its first 20 years of existence. More than riding on the back of a passionate passion on the part of each of those responsible, Quanta Terra began to take its first steps (and without knowing it) in the distant 90s, where the two main actors met while collaborating in the Department of Enology in the Transmontanas Cellars. They quickly developed a professional complicity that would allow them to create a solid foundation for Quanta Terra which, at the time, was just a mirage – or a sketch in a paper notebook, the reader chooses the analogy that best suits him in the context.
Finally, they were faced with a decision: heads or tails.
Two properties filled their dimensions. It came up heads… and tails, since the chosen Quinta – Quinta do Tralhão – is the face of this producer and the crown of the incredible wines produced there. With an average elevation of 215 m and southwest exposure, the Quinta had, at the time, 30 ha of which 12 ha were under vines that were more than two decades old. It looked perfect. But everything good has a price to pay. The vineyards were in a general state of abandonment, which required complete restructuring. The millennium was ending when, finally, Celso and Jorge established the company Quanta Terra, Lda. Visionaries, with a project of high potential, but without the financial means to carry out Tralhão, the two winemakers agreed on their intentions and proposed a share to Mário Joaquim, owner of the property that had belonged to his family for several generations. The die was cast.
With lots of treats, manual harvesting and some experiments in between, the two project mentors put their notebooks aside and finalized their preparations to present to the market what had been brewing in their minds for a long time…
And voilá, they launched their first wine, Quanta Terra Tinto 1999. The rest is history.

WINEMAKER: Celso Pereira & Jorge Alves.

It goes well with roasts, red meat and traditional Portuguese dishes, such as Portuguese stew, migas or even roast lamb. Store in a horizontal position, in a cool and dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations. Serve at a temperature of 16ºC to 18ºC. Consume in moderation.
