The 27th edition of the Mundus Vini Spring Tasting international wine competition brought us good news. In addition to a Silver Medal, Quinta de Santa Cristina wines also conquered a Gold Medal! Discover which wines were distinguished in the contest.
We wanted to get our of the comfort zone and produce a wine from a grape variety that, unlike most of the ones we use in the production of our wines, it is not native from the Vinho Verde region.
Although celebrated in a different way, we don’t want Valentine’s Day to be just another day.
So, we created “Will you be my Valentine?” vouchers, which will be available until February 14th, that promise to provide unique moments among vineyards. ❤
Quinta de Santa Cristina produces sparkling wines since 2008 and they are all brut, which means they have a sugar concentration of less than 12g/L. To produce our sparkling wines we use the traditional/classic method.
Batoca is a very special grape variety for us… Besides the difficulty on producing it, it can find the perfect conditions in Quinta de Santa Cristina’s terroir. Why this grape variety is our baby girl?
The harvest season represents the end of a work year, it represents tradition, interaction and loads of emotions. It is a season when the winery is at its highest: the grapes are arriving, the musts are getting inside the vats… it is a very exciting season for all Quinta de Santa Cristina team members.
Quinta de Santa Cristina Reserva 2017 white wine was awarded Gold Medal at the 26th edition of the Spring Tasting 2020 of Mundus Vini – The Grand International Wine Award contest.
In the beginning of 2020, a special wine from 2017’s vintage was highlighted. We had released a Great Reserve from 100% of Alvarinho grapes and, in order to do justice to the name, it had been launched in a Great size – a Magnum bottle (1500ml) that promises to shine at the opening time. Each simple detail of this bottle tells a little bit of the estate as well as all the stages included in the bottle production, since the harvest until the labelling.
