Vineyards
Douro River
The Quevedo vineyards span over 250 acres throughout the regions of Cima-Corgo and Douro Superior. The soil of the region is comprised of schist stone which is as genuine as the wine it produces.
The site climate is exceptional due to, on the one hand, the singular geography and disposition of the vines and on the other hand, the surrounding climates – Mediterranean and Atlantic climates are combined harmoniously thus creating a suitable climatic site for growing grape.
The soil of the region is comprised of schist stone which is as genuine as the wine it produces, divided in small terroirs with different physical and chemical qualities between them; thus each terroir has a unique and defined personality. This abundance of climatic influences and different soils define prolonged stages in the vine growth cycle. The growth will be complex and delicate, key to the potential quality of the wines in this area.

Quinta Vale D'Agodinho
Quinta Vale d’Agodinho is located next to the Douro River which embraces the 200 meters of the vineyards. Fifty luscious acres are full of the best varieties of the region: Touriga Franca, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Toriz and Tinto Cão.
Every December the vines are pruned in preparation for the harsh and dry summer. Before autumn comes, begins punctually the apotheosis of the second week of September: the vintage.
Quinta da Trovisca
Quinta da Trovisca
One and a half miles away from S. Joao da Pesqueira stands Quinta da Trovisca, 38 acres of robust vines of touriga nacional, touriga franca, sousao and tinta roriz.
January is the optimal for prune, due to the local micro-climate while the vintage is taken in the third week of September. Trovisca’s soil facilitates the production of structured, fruity wine with well-balanced acidity.
Quinta Sra do Rosário
Quinta Sra do Rosário
The highest of the Quevedo vineyards is located 650 meters above the sea level and is also the oldest and most respectable quinta planted 40 years ago.
Because of its locations, the wines of this field are always the last to be pruned and harvested.
Therefore from Quinta da Senhora do Rosário we obtain red fruity, concentrated and fresh wines.
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.
