Marquesa

The two showpieces of Quinta da Alorna. The composition of the grapes has been kept secret for years by winemaker Martta Reis Simões. We can say that the wines have had a lot of barrel aging, but not at the expense of fruitiness and freshness. Several times awarded by, among others, Robert Parker and the Guia Copo & Alma.

Branco

The barrel aging is very successful and you can recognize it by the dried fruit/spicy flavors of the wine. It has been aged for 8 months with lees, after which the best barrels have been chosen for this blend. Goes well with seafood rice, pasta with fish, Mediterranean traditional dishes and cheeses with an intense flavor.
