Quinta de São Luiz is part of the famous port house Kopke. They saw great potential in the terroir and the age-old vineyards. São Luiz is located in the heart of the Douro region on the left bank of the river between Régua and Pinhão. Due to the construction of the Bagaúste Dam in the 1970s, the water level rose to such an extent that Quinta de São Luiz lost some of its land. To solve this problem, they bought several Quintas in the region to continue their dream. All with an A status and ranging in age from 1972 to 1987. São Luiz currently manages 125 hectares of vineyards. The combination of state-of-the-art technology in the winery and the availability of its own vineyards guarantee beautiful wines.
The Sao Luiz Branco is a blend of the typical grapes Viosinho, Arinto and Folgazão. The manual harvest of Viosinho grapes is at the end of August, followed by the Arinto and Folgozão at the beginning of September. Maceration with skins for about 24 hours, with fermentation in French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 6 months in the same barrels with regular battonage. The Quinta de São Luiz Reserva Branco has luscious aromas of tropical fruit and subtle wood tones emanate from the glass. The taste is perfectly balanced, creamy full with a nice acidity. An intriguing wine with a nice long finish. Ideal with oily fish and white meat.
FACT: For many years the tradition at Quinta de São Luiz was to paint the stone wall white. This piece of history is cherished and that is why the white wall adorns the labels of the São Luiz wines. A fusion of the past and contemporary wines.
Kpke is ’s werelds oudste porthuis. Dit porthuis werd opgericht in 1638 door Cristiano Köpke. Dit porthuis is gespecialiseerd in Tawny port en dan met name de oude Tawny port (de zogenaamde Colheita’s). De Colheita port is lichter dan een Vintage port en past bij veel meer gelegenheden en maaltijden dan een Vintage port. Een Colheita kenmerkt zich door de bruine/amandel kleur, de geur van gebrande noten, van rozijnen en gedroogd fruit. Hoe ouder de Colheita hoe complexer hij wordt. 80% van de port die gemaakt wordt bij Kopke is Tawny port. Dit porthuis heeft Tawny port in huis van meer dan 100 jaar oud.
Quinta de São Luiz is onderdeel van Kopke. Zij zagen grote potentie in het terroir en de eeuwenoude wijngaarden. São Luiz ligt in het hart van de Douro regio op de linkeroever van de rivier tussen Régua en Pinhão. Door de bouw van de Bagaúste-dam in de jaren 70, steeg het waterpeil zodanig dat Quinta de São Luiz een deel van het land verloor. Om dit op te lossen kochten zij diverse Quinta’s in de regio om hun droom voort te zetten. Allemaal met een A-status en variërend in leeftijd van 1972 tot 1987. São Luiz beheert momenteel 125 hectare wijngaarden. De combinatie van ultramoderne technologie in de winery en de beschikking over eigen wijngaarden, staan garant voor schitterende wijnen.
