Quinta da Devesa
Est. 1941
Owned by the Fortunato family, Quinta da Devesa is a small 34 hectare winery in the Cima Corgo sub region of the Douro Valley, overlooking the confluence of the rivers Douro and Corgo. The winery has been dedicated to the production of Douro and Port wine since 1941. Tawny Ports, both red and white, are the wineries specialty.
The vineyards range in elevation from 500 to 600 meters, part south-facing, with excellent sun exposure, and part north-facing where it receives cooler prevailing winds. This diversity of sun and wind exposure causes varying levels of maturation and development that allow harvesting under optimal conditions.
The vineyards are managed under a minimum intervention system known as “Integrated Production,” focusing on prevention and providing a healthy habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals, ensuring adequate biodiversity and a balanced, sustainable environment.

The grapes from our Quinta are harvested by hand in small containers and trodden by foot for traditional vinification in granite lagares. Aged in old wooden vats until bottled in the second year after the harvest.
Deep purple color. Powerful aromas of ripe red fruits, floral, cocoa, pepper, cassis and iodine. On the palate it’s dense, velvety and full bodied, with opulent and firm tannins, a well- balanced acidity offering balance, harmony and elegance, that anticipates superb ageing in bottle. The finish is long, sweet, refreshing and gourmand.
Blue cheeses, walnuts, dark chocolate, figs
To drink before 2030, a long decant is recommended and if possible, try it out during a 3 day window (if you can resist), watch it develop and the tannins getting softer. Prime time should be from 2040 onwards. Decant and serve at 57-60 deg F. Consume within a few days of opening (stored in fridge).

The vineyards sit on the North facing slope allowing for temperatures cool enough to produce still white wines. Grapes are hand harvested grapes from schist soils. After destemming, crushing and pressing the grapes undergo cold settling at 15 deg F for 48 hours to clarify the must and enhance aromatic expression of the grape varieties. Fermentation with controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, at 60 deg F for 6 to 10 days. Daily bâtonnage.
