Olga
Martins of Lavradores de Feitoria with her husband Jorge Moreira
(of Poeira and Quinta de la Rosa)
Lavradores de Feitoria is a cooperative venture between
15 different estates, spread through all three subregions of the
Douro. The wines are impressive, and the packaging and marketing
are first rate. Três Bagos is the brand used as a catch-all for
wine blended from various estates, while each year the
top-performing Quintas get to bottle wines under their own names.
Três
Bagos Tinto 2004
Lovely focused fruit on the nose. Nice weight on the palate
with crunchy tannins, a mix of red and black fruits with good
concentration and definition. A lovely wine and I suspect this
will be great value for money. Very good/excellent 91/100
Três
Bagos Grande Escolha 2004
Beautifully perfumed nose of dark fruits with some oak, herby
notes and tar. Sweet, concentrated, dense palate with lovely lush
fruit and good oak. A lovely wine. Quite rich and oaky, but nice.
Very good/excellent 92/100
Quinta
da Costa 2004
Beautifully perfumed nose with fresh, chunky red fruits. The
palate shows dense, ripe, sweet fruit that’s beautifully
structured. Great concentration: a lovely wine. Very
good/excellemnt 93/100
