Quinta do Ermizio
Quinta do Ermízio believe that wine is crafted in the vineyard, with winery technology serving solely to preserve and enhance the grape qualities. Their winemaking approach is minimalist, avoiding wood contact and low-temperature fermentation, which respects and highlights the terroir, allowing the grape variety, soil, and climate to shine through. While the wines may differ from year to year, their character remains consistent. Discreet on the nose yet fresh and long on the palate, these wines evolve beautifully in the bottle, designed for slow enjoyment alongside good conversation and exquisite cuisine.
