Quinta das Hidrângeas Reserva

Wine is so often spoken about and so frequently consumed ‘just because’ that it’s very common to ignore the history of the places where it’s produced. Because of this, and in this particular case, we’ve chosen to not only tell you about the wine but also about the region where it was born: the incredible and inimitable Douro winemaking region.
Did you know that, in 1756, Marquês de Pombal made this the planet’s first demarcated region?
For this reason, we’re going to share a poem with you – or part of a poem – by Adolfo Casais Monteiro, eternally known as Miguel Torga, in the Portuguese artistic panorama.
About the Douro – the region from which this Quinta das Hidrângeas comes from – Torga wrote the following:
“The prodigious scenery that ceases being so by exceeding itself. It is not a panorama that eyes can observe: it is an excess of Nature.
Terraces, titanic men’s steps for climbing the slopes, volumes, colours and modulations that no sculptor, painter or musician can translate, dilated horizons that go beyond the plausible thresholds of vision itself.
A virginal universe, as if just born, and already eternal for its harmony, serenity, for the silence that not even the river dares to break, now disappearing stealthily behind the hills, now left gaping in the distance, reflecting its own astonishment.
A geological poem. The absolute beauty.”
As for the wine, it’s fantastic. You can open it. Trust us.
It’s smooth, intense, with an enchanting aroma that’ll make you finish your first glass quickly. It’s a wine you just won’t be able to put down.
If you’d like to store it, lay it down in a cool, dark place to conserve it in optimal conditions.
What you can’t do is forget to visit our site to share your opinion about this wine (and others as well, of course). Ok?
Cheers from us to you.

Cheers!
