Quevedo in France
Hello again, it is the ex-water-drinker. I am just departing for two adventure weeks in France, hitch-hiking in a truck to arrive tomorrow in Bordeaux, where people are waiting for me. I chose Bordeaux as the first stop for its reputation as a wine region, almost like the French Douro. I’m staying at a couple of couchsurfers that are professionally related to winemaking, and I’m looking forward to learning from them the secrets of Bordeaux wine.
But I’m not going alone, and as a Quevedo ambassador I’m taking in my backpack a bottle of Vintage 2005 to offer a tasting to my hosts; this bottle belongs to an exclusive series of bottles that were numbered and signed by Cláudia, our winemaker, and was offered by Óscar Jr. for special occasions; I wonder if there’s a better moment to open it than the visit to some friends that share our passion for vines and wine!
Soon I’ll tell you how the trip is going, as well as what did Pam and Denis say about our Vintage.
Till then,
Pedro

Quevedo was founded in 1991 as a family owned business in the heart of the Douro valley, responding to the needs of the generations that preceded the associate founders. These ancestors were passionately dedicated to their vineyards and to the culture that surrounded the production of wine. Consequently, the company was created as a seamless marriage between the initial phase of production and the promotion and selling of their wines. Currently, the estate is comprised of 100 hectares located in the regions of Cima-Corgo and Douro Superior, producing both red and port wines from only the five traditional port grapes Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Barroca.
