Quinta da Devesa vineyard and winery, located in the demarcated Douro region, in the North of Portugal, has the diversity of solar and wind exposure for growing excellent wine grapes and producing great Douro and Port wines.
On the Cima Corgo sub-region, and only 10 kms away from Peso da Régua, Quinta da Devesa vineyard and winery are located on a promontory which overlooks the confluence of the rivers Douro and Corgo, from where an wonderful sight can be enjoyed, covering the valleys of the rivers and mountains of the region.
It's 34 hectares planted with the grape varieties recommended for the region, goes from a quota of 60 m up to 500 m high, part facing south, getting an excellent sun exposure, and part facing the buttresses of Marão, where it receives natural cool winds.
This diversity of solar and wind exposure causes different levels of grape maturation, allowing timing of harvest in optimal conditions and producing wines with differentiated characteristics and evolutions.
