For a long time, ‘estate’ or ‘terroir’ wine has been considered as the archetype of top quality wines, capable of transmitting the singular characteristics of that particular estate. The quality of a wine is determined by certain well-defined characteristics; bouquet, colour, body, fruitiness, structure, elegance … all of which are actively influenced by the natural properties of the land and the grape variety. It is practically impossible to find a soil which is capable of simultaneously bringing to the fore the maximum potential of more than one or two of these characteristics in the wine. As a result, the single estate wine usually presents an alteration in the balance of these characteristics, with some being over developed and others less defined or almost non-existent. Quatro Pagos goes beyond the traditional coupage concept, basing its elaboration on the combined action of grape varieties and estates, selected in such a way that their synergy brings out to the maximum, yet in harmony, each one of the wine’s singular qualities.
