Fonte do Ouro Dão Nobre White 2015

The First in the History of Portuguese Wine Industry

From the “Art and Ingenuity” of the oenologist Nuno Cancela de Abreu, the first Dão Noble White wine was born, for the first time in the Portuguese wine history, in the harvest of 2015. Never produced a white wine with such designation excellence before, responding to a minimum of 90 points out of 100 awarded by the chamber of tasters from the Dão region. This is one of the two wines specially created for the Commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of Boas Quintas :

Fonte do Ouro Dão Noble White 2015, of which were produced only 1,200 bottles, where the Encruzado grape variety occupies a prominent place alongside the Arinto and White Cerceal. Fermented and aged for 6 months in new barrels, this wine counts with the elegance of white fruit aromas, the minerality and buttery wood combined in a rich and long complexity that makes it a wine of excellence;

Fonte do Ouro Grand Reserve Red 2013, with a production of 2,800 bottles, in which the Touriga Nacional left an indelible mark alongside the grape varieties Tinta Roriz and Jaen. After ageing for 18 months in new barrels this wine with fresh fruit notes, shows a great concentration in color and a beautiful tannic structure in a balanced set of great complexity that makes an excellent guard wine;

This limited edition celebrates and honors the nobility of the Dão wine region and its varieties that have created two of the most distinguished wines from the first quarter of century of the company’s life.

The Boas Quintas project began in 1991 when Nuno Cancela de Abreu was awarded in the National Competition for Young Portuguese Farmers projects, which allowed the plantation of a new vineyard in the Dão region, the construction of a small winery in the old family house in Mortágua and the launch of the first harvest of the brand “Fonte do Ouro”.

Today, Nuno Cancela de Abreu sums the passion he inherited, the experience of a 35-year career and the stories he shared with all of those who accompany him on this path and made it possible to take to the market Boas Quintas wines every day of the past 25 years.
