Wines
Our wines are produced from the finest varieties of old vines that are over 90 years old, planted at an altitude between 50 and 250 metres above sea level and new vines around 40 years old. The presence of Touriga Franca stands out among the old vines, being one of the great varieties of the Douro, adapted both to table and fortified wines. Some of the dozens of dominant varieties at Quinta dos Frades are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Branca, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Carvalha, Donzelinho and Rabigato. The vineyard’s exposure to the east and west is crucial to achieve balance in the different agricultural years, thus conferring the wines that are produced with a variety of aromas, flavours and structure, which assure the uniqueness of our winery.

We had a great experience at this Quinta! We arrived unexpected and could still get a tour. The tour is I think the best of the area! You are only with your own group, the guide is very sweet, passionated, and full of knowledge which she gladly shares about the history of the estate till today. After visiting the wine process you have the chance to drive around the wine-yards in their cute little van, where you can enjoy an amazing view of the river and fields! The tour ends with the wine tasting in very cute terrasse somewhere on the estate. We tasted their different wines (not Port wine). We definitely recommend this Quinta to anyone wanting to have a wine tour in the Douro!
The most beautiful Quinta do Douro! Since 1256, producing the best wines from the oldest demarcated region in the world. It is impossible to get to know the Douro without visiting and tasting the wines. The host, Maria João Alves is an authentic ambassador of the Duriense Region!
