Description
Dona Clara uses both the name and the image of the principal Quinta house, Dona Clara. The elements for this wine are sourced from all over Quinta da Romaneira, and more than any other wine, the Dona Clara now is a faithful representative of all the aspects of the property, and of all the varietals grown there.
