In the 2023 Wine and Sparkling Wine Competition organised by the Comissão Vitivinícola da Bairrada, the Original Reserva Branco 2020 wine from the producer Quatro Cravos was awarded the Grande Ouro 2023 medal, making it the most voted wine in the competition, "The Big Winner". In addition to this medal, it was awarded Best White Wine 2023.
The 2023 edition of the Wine and Sparkling Wine Competition featured 120 wines and sparkling wines from the Bairrada Region, 65 still wines and 55 sparkling wines assessed in a blind tasting, and was made up of a panel of 14 national expert judges - winemakers from the region, representatives of the Portuguese Sommeliers Association and the local press - who excel in rigour and prove the quality of Bairrada wines.
Once again, Quatro Cravos is recognised for the quality always present in its wines and sparkling wines that are characteristic of the Bairrada region. An example of this is Original Reserva Branco 2020, an elegant, creamy and balanced wine from the Arinto grape variety, with a toasted aroma with floral notes of orange and lime, and apricot. With a complex flavour, it has lively acidity with notes of toast and citrus fruit. Elegant and long aftertaste.
