Quevedo is part of a new generation of small family wineries based in the Douro Valley. They grew grapes to make Port wine for merchants based in Vila Nova de Gaia until Portugal joined the European Union in 1986. Then the legislation changed and allowed both grape growers and wineries in the Douro Valley to export their wines directly to the retailer. It was then that the brand “Quevedo” was born.
From the sub-regions of the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior, Quevedo cultivates 100 hectares of vineyards across six properties. The vineyards diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors which helps them craft their wines.

Quevedo Tawny Port
Tasting notes
Quevedo Tawny is a wine that will appeal to all, given the balance between its youth and ageing. It has an amber color and a nose of jammy fruit and plums, along with dried fruit notes, figs and hazelnuts. The mouth has a good balance between sweetness and acidity. Wood taste speak before a smooth finish, long and persistent.

The grapes are harvested in August and we had smaller berries of the grapes the
vine produced but this berries was very aromatics and flavorful. The grapes were
hand picked by hand and brought to the winery. The grapes were gently crushed
and fermenting in stainless steel tank with low temperature. After fermentation,
we aged it for 3 months on fine lees with batonnage Tasting.

Oscar's Quevedo Douro Red
Tasting notes
The intense rain during the Spring caused a late growth of the vines and preoccupations in
terms of mildew, which ended up reducing the quantity of grapes the vine produced.
August and September are typically hot and dry, which helped the vine to finish the maturation.
