- Maria Mansa is produced by Quinta do Noval from carefully selected grapes originated from the highest areas of the Demarcated Region of the Douro, which are more favourable to the production of white wines.
- 年份的天气条件
  The viticultural year began with a fairly wet winter followed by mild temperatures leading into spring. These two conditions led to an early budburst in March. April provided us with regular rainy spells that positively replenished the soil water reserves.
  
  Flowering occurred quite early in the beginning of May that led us to expect an early harvest. June was a difficult month, very hot and humid, where regular thunderstorms and hail affected the region. Quinta do Noval was thankfully spared from that inclement weather.
  July's mild weather started to shape the character of this harvest because it contrasted completely to last year's record setting temperatures during the same month. The mild conditions continued into August and led to a slow homogeneous ripening of the grapes and noticeably less dehydration than in 2020.
  
  We harvested our white grapes from 24th to 27th August. The first wines made showed intense fruitiness and crispy acidity.
  Overall it can be said that the average quality of the wines made is reasonably good throughout. The dry whites are very promising, with a brilliant colour and a nice mineral structure in the mouth.

- 品鉴笔记
  Maria Mansa white 2021 combines the fruit and freshness provided by the unique character of Douro terroir and its traditional regional varieties. The wine presents a clear, bright and beautiful tone. Intense aromas with prominent notes of white, tropical and citrus fruit. On the palate, the wine has a vibrant yet well-integrated acidity followed by further citrus and floral notes. Crisp and long aftertaste.
