Snowing in the Douro right before Christmas
We are white again!!! After two days of low temperatures and very cold winds, it snowed in the valley. All happened tonight, probably between 1am and 6am. I don’t know exactly, as I decided to go earlier to bed so I could have time to read the addicting Port and the Douro by Richard Mayson. This morning, when I opened the blind I had this surprise: the Douro was covered by a thing layer of snow! It does not snow that often here, maybe 3 or 4 time each decade, but curiously the last time we saw snow in the Douro valley was in the last week of December 2008, so not even one year ago. Global warming or Douro freezing?!?
If you are considering to visit us these days, please don’t forget gloves, scarf and boots. We give the wine!

Ola Carlota!
Ainda bem que é Natal para comunicarmos. E agora sofisticadamente…
Vamos fazendo pela vida com os dois filhos comprometidos no projeto comum, para sermos mais fortes. Repito o convite de sempre: convença o eng. Sequeira e venham redescobrir o Douro, nós gostaremos de vos ter cá!
Boas Festas e um 2010 pleno de felicidades são os Votos do clã Quevedo.
Um chi coração.
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.

É Natal, é Natal
e por isso cá estou eu a enviar o meu voto de umas Festas em cheio, com saúde e boa disposição.
Vi o site e vi a reportagem na televisão.
Espectacular! Eu sempre disse que o Douro esperava por si!
Fico atenta a mais noticias e mais desejosa de poder ir aí ver o latifúndio.
Um grande abraço e votos de um 2010 em cheio.
