Description

Quinta Nova’s Mirabilis is made from grapes from small, century-old vineyards, inparticular the Viosinho and Gouveio grape varieties, complemented by a wide range of other varieties with a very low level of production, that are otherwise almost non-existent in the region.
Small, tight bunches of grapes and single clusters mean that the yield per hectare is no more than 2300 kg, in soils at altitudes above 500 metres, geologically classified as transitional
schist/granitic soils, in the parishes of Vilar de Maçada, Cabeda, Tabuaço and Candedo.
These conditions endow musts with a sublime genuineness, that naturally accentuates their freshness and aroma. The selected wood, primarily French and Hungarian oak, is from the second and third year, with only a small percentage of new wood, in order to avoid marking the flavour and to ensure better and slower integration of the intense fruit. A wine of extreme elegance, that combines freshness, structure and acidity.
