DOURO - QUINTA DA COSTA DO PINHAO

Quinta da Costa do Pinhão is in Douro’s Pinhão Valley with stunning views of the surrounding vineyards on hills. The vineyards are facing south and range from 250-500m in altitude.

The estate is classified as a grade ‘A’ vineyard which allows it to make pipes of Port. The vineyard at Peladosa are 90+ years old and used to produce exceptional wine with finesse, good structure, black cherry and blackcurrant fruits.

In 2007, the current owner, Miguel Morais, inherited his grandfather’s estate and in 2014 began to make table wines.

This is a minimal intervention estate, preserving the raw character through natural fermentation in the traditional slate lagars’ where freshly picked grapes are gently foot trodden for light maceration. It allows the wines to have minerality, fresh, balanced and fruity wines.
