Situated on the steep banks of the majestic Douro River, Quinta do Pessegueiro stands out not only for its incredible architecture, but also for the passion and respect with which it honours the region’s rich winemaking tradition. Situated in the heart of this ancient valley, the birthplace of Port wine and some of Portugal’s finest wines, the property transports us to a setting of timeless beauty, where nature, history and human work harmoniously intertwine.
The property, owned by Roger Zannier, comprises 28 hectares of meticulously cultivated vineyards spread across three exceptional terroirs: Pessegueiro, Teixeira and Afurada. These territories, located in the Alto Douro Wine Region — classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — offer unique conditions that allow the production of wines that are true expressions of their terroir, reflecting the extraordinary character of this place rich in history and tradition.
Quinta do Pessegueiro’s philosophy is based on a comprehensive and balanced approach, whose aim is to highlight the originality and properties of each plot, in the most honest and respectful way possible. From the manual harvest to the careful winemaking process, each stage is marked by a profound respect for nature and local heritage, creating wines that are true works of art.
Quinta do Pessegueiro’s range of wines is vast and fascinating. The Douro DOC red and white wines are the result of the diversity of the terrain, the specific climate and the richness of altitudes and exposures of the plots. This combination provides an unparalleled complexity, allowing each bottle to tell its own story, while beautifully expressing the unique character of the Douro. In addition to the still wines, the estate prides itself on its production of Port Wines — with particular emphasis on the Vintage, LBV and White Port — each of which reflects the vibrant and ancestral soul of the region.
Commitment to sustainability is another fundamental pillar of Quinta do Pessegueiro’s philosophy. To keep the landscape alive and preserve the Douro’s natural heritage, the estate adopts sustainable development practices at all stages of production. The energy consumed in the winery comes exclusively from renewable sources, and the cultivation of the vineyards respects the natural cycle of the earth, guaranteeing authentic, superior-quality wines.
In terms of white wines, Quinta do Pessegueiro focuses on the native grape varieties Viosinho, Rabigato, Folgasão, Cerceal and Gouveio. These carefully selected varieties provide a unique elegance and freshness, creating wines that perfectly combine the expression of the terroir and the refinement of contemporary oenology.
Discovering the wines of Quinta do Pessegueiro is like embarking on a unique sensory journey, where each aroma and each flavor tells the story of this enchanted valley.
