4 Nouvelles Distinctions Decanter 2025

Nous avons une excellente nouvelle à vous annoncer : Quinta do Tedo a reçu 4 nouvelles distinctions au concours Decanter World Wine Awards !

Porto Colheita 2006 - 96 points - Or (l'une des 12 médailles d'or remportées cette année par le Douro !)

« Une belle ouverture, des notes enveloppantes de fruits secs, de caramel et de fudge, avec une texture suave et une fraîcheur vive et précise qui persiste en bouche. »

Douro DOC 2022 - 92 points - Argent

« Des arômes de quetsche cuite, de cerise noire, de violette et de poivre blanc mènent à une bouche aux tanins souples et aux notes salées de prune. »

Douro DOC Reserva 2021 - 90 points - Argent

« Floral et vif, avec un nez de bergamote, de cerise noire, de noix de muscade et de rose, suivi en bouche d'écorce d'orange et d'épices savoureuses. »

Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2020 - 89 points - Bronze

« Nez aromatique avec une bouche complexe mais élégante de fruits rouges sucrés et de notes herbacées. Texture onctueuse avec une pointe de tanins. »

Exaltant (et alléchant), n'est-ce pas ?

Cette 22e édition des Decanter World Wine Awards a réuni 248 experts internationaux du vin (dont 72 Masters of Wine et 22 Master Sommeliers) issus de 35 pays pour évaluer 17 000 vins provenant de 57 pays.

Seuls 4,4 % de tous les vins évalués ont reçu une médaille d'or et 33,4 % une médaille d'argent. Selon Decanter, « le Portugal a enregistré cette année (2025) ses meilleurs résultats jamais obtenus au DWWA ».

Nous sommes ravis que Quinta do Tedo figure parmi ces distinctions. Cependant, nous ne sommes pas surpris, compte tenu des compétences, de la formation et du travail acharné de notre équipe de viticulture pour cultiver des raisins certifiés biologiques de haute qualité, que notre équipe d'œnologie transforme, vieillit et assemble avec le plus grand soin pour obtenir des vins de Porto et Douro DOC primés (littéralement), que (en fin) notre équipe de dégustation et nos partenaires internationaux sont ravis de partager avec vous 🍷

Exciting (and mouthwatering), wouldn’t you agree?

This 22nd edition of Decanter World Wine Awards united 248 international wine experts (including 72 Masters of Wine and 22 Master Sommeliers) from 35 countries to evaluate 17,000 wines from 57 countries. 

Only 4,4% of all evaluated wines received Gold Medals, 33,4% received Silver Medals and, according to Decanter, “Portugal recorded its strongest-ever DWWA performance this year (2025).”

We are thrilled Quinta do Tedo placed amidst these accolades.

Douro DOC Rosé 2023

Harvest notes:

The start to harvest 2023 was early, on August 28, and consistently hot and dry, followed by a wave of intermittent rainstorms, making for a harvest of multiple harvests*.

*Dive deeper into our 2023 harvest notes via our August 2023 blog post: https://www.quintadotedo.com/kays-blog-bouchard/harvest-2023.

Our organic vineyards are located within a 2 km radius of Quinta do Tedo, which facilitates close maturation monitoring of our parcels planted to different varieties’, so we can pick each at the perfect point.

Douro DOC Rosé-destined clusters of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz from our cooler vineyard sites (higher elevation and North-facing) are always the first to succumb to our agile harvesters’ scissors, in order to preserve fresh aromas and bright acidity in the grapes.

Very light pressing followed by fermentation and aging in part-cocciopesto amphorae and part-stainless steel tanks ensures our Rosé is delicate and lifted, textured and complex, and uniquely-Tedo.

Tasting notes:

To the eyes - pale rose petal that evolves into a warmer rose gold with age (1-2 years); elegant, cool and inviting. What may seem Provençal in appearance is undoubtedly Douro at heart - a modern Rosé expression of our classic Douro DOC red blend.

Through the nose - beautiful, fresh and complex; small forest strawberries, grapefruit and rhubarb with jasmine florals and exotic aromas of gooseberry, mandarin orange and honeydew melon; intriguing minerality imparted from fermentation and aging in part cocciopesto amphorae.

On the mouth - in harmony with the nose, add raspberry, red currant and blueberry pulp, bright acidity, gastronomic texture and mineral complexity. This is a versatile yet serious Rosé, perfect company for your summer pool days, cheese boards and salads, to pair with grilled seafood and vegetables, quiche, pastas (classic tomato, bright pesto, or creamy salmon), and why not Mexican, Middle Eastern and Asian food too?

Let our Rosé quench your thirst, inspire your cooking, and delight your summer festivities and guests. Just make sure you order enough, it flows fast!
