A Charming Winery in the Historic Douro Valley
Crafting Exceptional Wines Since 1986
Quinta dos Poços spans 25 hectares in the Demarcated Region of Douro, specifically in the lower Corgo area of Valdigem, Lamego. This region is renowned as one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the world and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The estate is currently owned by the family of Prof. Doctor Jose Manuel da Costa Mesquita Guimarães. The name "Poços" reflects the abundant springs formed by the region's heavy rainfall.
From Vineyard to Cellar
At Quinta dos Poços, the vineyards are nurtured with care to produce high-quality grapes for their wines. The winery minimizes the use of chemical agents to maintain healthy soil and vines. The slate-rich soil supports a variety of traditional red and white grape varieties, each contributing unique characteristics to the final product. The red grapes include Donzelinho, Rufete, Sousão, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Roriz, Red Dog, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional. The white varieties feature Arinto, Códega do Larinho, Gouveio, Moscatel de Setúbal, Rabigato, and Viosinho. In addition to fine wines, Quinta dos Poços also produces high-quality olive oil and natural honey, both known for their health benefits. Grapes are carefully harvested in small 20 kg boxes to prevent crushing. In the winery, they are de-stemmed and gently crushed before being vinified in traditional granite presses or stainless steel vats.
