Douro 2001
Region: portugal
Winery: Quinta Dos Aciprestes
Variety: Douro

Following the gently sloaping contours of the Douro River, Aciprestes has been completely replanted with the noblest varieties of the region.The optimal microclimate of some 90 hectars of vineyard between Cima Corgo and Alto Douro offers ideal conditions for perfect ripening of the grapes. After a period of 6 to 8 months in small oak barrels the wine expresses its subtle power and distinctive ripe fruit which classicaly identifies this single estate.
