‘Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards 2024’

Quinta de Santa Cristina recently announced that it won the gold medal with the Quinta de Santa Cristina Espadeiro-Alvarinho 2022 wine, in the Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards 2024 competition.

Composed exclusively of female judges, the 11th edition of this renowned competition’s mission is to distinguish the wines that best harmonize with Japanese cuisine and boost the role of women in the wine sector.

In a more gastronomic profile, Espadeiro Alvarinho is characterized by its fresh, expressive and delicate aroma, with notes of red fruit, strawberries, raspberry and a slight floral, complemented by smooth and well-integrated acidity. Finishes fresh, seductive and very appetizing. A Rosé Wine ideal to accompany foods that are not very spicy, such as Italian and Asian food.

Inserted in the Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes, located in Celorico de Basto, Quinta de Santa Cristina has been in the same family since 1733. Professional wine production began in 2004 and is currently owned by António and Rosa Maria Pinto and their daughter Monica Pinto. All wines are produced with our own grapes and, between white and red varieties, around 14 different varieties are produced that occupy more than 60 hectares of vineyard. The production is certified in Integrated Production and follows all Global G.A.P. certification rules.
