Conceito Bastardo 2015 Douro Red

 An unusual pale cherry colour with aromas of lifted floral notes (rose), hints of white pepper, cloves, liquorice and fruits of the forest. The aromas on the nose follow onto the palate with more cherry, cranberry and chocolate flavours with a lingering and clean finish.

“That Conceito’s Rita Ferreira Marques has the capacity to surprise was a known quality. The twenty-nine year old is the subject of my forthcoming “Unusual Suspects” feature for wine-searcher.com’s new web magazine, which explores her precocious talent. […] Marques herself is under-stated and, hyper-focused on the family vineyards and her wines, I suspect that the outward appearance of the winery as opposed to what’s in it, is of little concern. And when it comes to what’s in the bottle, she certainly delivers.” Sara AhmedThe Wine Detective

Very impressed by these new releases from Rita Ferreira’s Conceito. They’re all really good. The Branco and Bastardo are probably my favourites, though. And the label design is just wonderfully eccentric. Jamie Goode – The Wine Anorak

About Conceito Wines

The Conceito winery is at the Quinta de Veiga (22 hectares) in Vale da Teja, and two further properties totalling 79 hectares of Douro highland vineyards. All red varieties are grown on schist (around 400m), whilst most white is on granite (around 650m). The oldest vines here are about 80 years old, and include 2 hectares of pre-phylloxera vines at around 600m, and 5 hectares of Bastardo at Quinta da Veiga.

The nature of these upland vineyards provide wonderful freshness in the Conceito wines. Rita Marques, when not here at the family property, also makes wine in New Zealand and South Africa. The viticultural regime here is organic, since 2006, but not registered.
