Never heard of this area? Don't fret. Trás-os-Montes is a little known DOC, even within Portugal. Grown on 30 acres of granite hills, Quinta Arcosso's grapes are hand selected and foot-trodden. The blend that will become Padrao Dos Povos is moved by gravity, with a portion of the wine aged in seasoned chestnut barrels. Finally, it's bottled unfiltered. Um brinde!
