Quinta do Regaínho Barricas 2019

Loureiro grapes are harvested manually from the oldest vineyards at Quinta do Regaínho, produced in a traditional way and according to the concepts of sustainable agriculture in order to respect the ecosystem.
The Cávado subregion is located just across the river basin that gave it its name. Being of low altitude and being very exposed to the sea winds, it brings a mild climate without great thermal amplitudes that, together with mostly granitic soils, give the wines unique characteristics.
