Quinta da Costa, Do Pinhao 'Gradual' B side, 2020
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Quinta da Costa do Pinhão’s “Gradual” B-Side is a fresh, quietly expressive red from the upper elevations of the Douro Valley, made from a field blend of native Portuguese grapes, many from century-old vines. The 2020 vintage balances ripeness with tension, and the “B-Side” moniker signals a more laid-back, unfiltered expression of the region.
This isn’t about oak or power. Instead, you get vibrant red fruit, wild herbs, and dusty tannins, with a savory, mineral streak running through it. Fermented naturally and aged in large, neutral wood, it’s structured but never heavy—a drink-now Douro that still has soul and grip.
Pair it with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or salty snacks. It’s the kind of wine that invites curiosity, whether you’re a Portuguese wine nerd or just want something red and refreshing that feels honest and alive.
