2021 Cabeça de Toiro Grande Reserva white
Description
The Cabeça de Toiro Grande Reserva white has a beautiful straw yellow colour with citrus reflections. Its fresh and intense aroma is reminiscent of tropical fruit notes such as mango and passion fruit. On the palate, the high acidity harmonises perfectly with the unctuousness, revealing notes of coconut and vanilla that make tasting this wine a delicious experience.
The origin of Quinta de S. João Batista is lost among stories of noble successions, donations to religious orders and other events. It was acquired in 1987 by Caves Dom Teodósio, now part of the Enoport Wines Group, and since then the estate has undergone a major restructuring of the vineyards and the construction of a modern winemaking centre.
Located in the Paul do Boquilobo Biosphere Nature Reserve, recognised by Unesco since 1981 as a World Biosphere Reserve, Quinta de S. João Batista is filled with delicious wines. João Batista is steeped in centuries-old history, represented by the colonial-style manor house, with an architectural ensemble of excellent cellars for ageing wine, and extends over a total area of around 145 hectares, 130 of which are used for planting vines.
The Quinta de S. João Batista is a modern wine centre.
