Reviewed on December 2015
The first Douro vineyard that Oscar Quevedo and his wife, Beatriz Morais, bought was in 1977; later, they settled in S. João de Pesqueira, planting Quinta Vale d’Agodinho in the Douro Superior in 1983. Their daughter, Claudia, studied enology and started making the wines here in 1999. Her 2013 is brisk and structured, tingling with acidity and the green, esteva-like edges of a young Douro Superior wine. The red fruit is juicy and rich, rounding out a broad texture.
