THE ORIGINS
Quinta da Devesa carries a long history. In 1844, the well-known Barão de Forrester, included this property in what was the first map of the Douro Demarcated Region. But the most important history of this property began in the last century, in 1941, when the Fortunato family acquired the property, thus starting a new phase of greater investment in wine production, with a special focus on Port wines. Later on, the Douro DOC still wines also appeared, which reinforced the presence in the national and international wine market.
Quinta da Devesa continues today to be an independent family company, looking forward to the future, with presence in several international markets. The investment made in recent years has managed to bring greater recognition from wine lovers and critics. The result of all this is also visible through the huge number of national and international awards achieved to date.
THE LOCATION
The rivers Corgo and Douro have been the landscape of Quinta da Devesa for a long time. And what a landscape! From the top of the vineyards and the imposing terraces, it is possible to observe the confluence of the two rivers, embraced by the hills and valleys of the magnificent Douro region. The property is located on the boundaries of the Baixo and Cima Corgo sub-regions, in the parish of Canelas.
THE TERROIR
The Quinta has 34 hectares of vineyards planted at an at 50-500 meters altitude, with North / South / West exposures, giving the winemaker Luís Rodrigues many different micro-climates to work with. This allows many hours of sunshine in the vineyards facing South to be balanced by the freshness guaranteed from the North facing slopes. This complexity of growing conditions means grapes mature at different times in the year, allowing better management of the harvest. All wines from Quinta da Devesa are produced exclusively from grapes grown on the estate.
