Vinha do Levante Grande Reserva DOC Douro 2022 - Quinta Da Boavista

About the wine

Perched high above the majestic banks of the Douro, Quinta Boavista is an outstanding winery dedicated entirely to the authentic expressiveness of its terroir. Under the direction of Ricardo Macedo and with the expertise of Jean-Claude Berrouet — the legendary oenologist from Château Pétrus — red wines of remarkable depth, balance and elegance are produced here. Each cuvée demonstrates a continuous quest for excellence and combines Portuguese tradition with Bordeaux precision to express the full complexity of the great Douro wines. Quinta da Boavista, located near Pinhão on the right bank of the Douro, offers spectacular views of the river. It is one of the most important wineries in the delimited Douro region, known for its historical heritage — in particular the connection to Baron Forrester — and for its 36 hectares of high-quality vineyards. Vinha do Levante is the estate's first white wine, made from the Arinto and Viosinho grape varieties, which were planted on terraces in 2007. The vineyard is located at one of the highest points of the Quinta, facing east. This location provides soft morning sun and protects the vines from the hot afternoon sun — ideal conditions for slow and balanced ripening. The result is an elegant white wine that combines aromatic finesse and complexity in a harmonious structure.
