Food pairing
Duas Quintas red 2013 is an excellent aperitif. We also suggest pairing it with dishes such as stews, cheese raclette, chicken muamba (chicken curry) to which it provides freshness. This wine also pairs well with roast chicken and vegetarian lasagna. As a dessert, we recommend pairing it with semi-cured sheep cheese and cured goat cheese.
Production
The grapes are harvested by hand in 150 kilos boxes then crushed and de-stemmed for fermentation in lagares and in stainless steel vats, where maceration is prolonged for the time needed to obtain a wine with the desired body and structure. After the malolactic fermentation, 20% of the wine is aged in French oak casks, 30% in barrels and the remainder in stainless steel vats for 13 months. The wine was bottled in February 2015.
