QUINTA DO QUEVEDO
“The most important legacy that we received from our ancestors was learning that wine is made in the vineyard.”
The Quevedo family’s lineage in viticulture traces back five generations. The first Quevedo vines were lovingly planted by Abel Gouveia Costa in 1889, in Valongo dos Azeites, S. João da Pesqueira.
Today, the 5th generation of the family led by siblings, Diogo & Claudia, continue nurturing the 100 hectares of vineyards, plus 25 hectares of organic olive groves, across five properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-region of Cima Corgo. This diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors that lend Quinta do Quevedo wines a plethora of distinct aromas and flavors, ranging from their world-recognized Ports to their still wines.
Organically farmed since 2012, the vineyards have become a sanctuary for insects, pollinators and native plants, providing a safe haven in the midst of the ever-expanding human footprint.
