Brandy is a natural product, obtained from the distillation of wines and which after a long period of aging in wooden barrels acquires a brown tone with a complexity of aromas and unique flavours.
Quinta do Rol is situated in the heart of the Lourinhã region and is currently the main producer and owner of its own distillery.
The Ugni Blanc, Malvasia Fina and Alicante Branco grapes are cultivated with the purpose of obtaining wines with a low alcohol content, high acidity and low pH.
The wines, meticulously elaborated, are distilled immediately after the alcohol fermentation, preserving all of its organoleptic potential.
Then, the Quinta do Rol Brandy is put into Portuguese oak and French oak barrels (from the Allier and Limousin forests) where it rests for more than 10 years.
It is this combination of wood and different contact periods that allow for this refined and unique brandy.
Topaz coloured with golden and light green tones. It has a complex aroma of dried fruits with honey, orange peel, spices and vanilla with the wooden aromas perfectly integrated.
On the palate it is creamy, pleasant, elegant and classy with a long and persistent ending.
