Nestled in the heart of the oldest wine-growing region in the world, Quinta do Couquinho emerges as a true sanctuary of wines and idyllic landscapes. Situated in the "warm land" of the Upper Douro, the property extends over approximately 60 hectares, of which 50 are dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards and olive trees, interspersed with almond, orange, apple, fig and other fruit trees that further embellish the region. Its privileged location, in the demarcated area of the Alto Douro Wine Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, makes it one of the most sought-after terroirs in the Douro region.
The Excellence of Quinta do Couquinho Wines
Quinta do Couquinho wines are produced using a rigorous selection and vinification process, under the direction of experienced winemaker Victor Fonseca Rabaçal. The estate’s winery is equipped to produce up to 200,000 liters of wine annually, ensuring meticulous quality control in each bottle.
The main traditional Douro grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Sousão, give life to Quinta do Couquinho wines, reflecting the soul of Trás-os-Montes and the unique character of its terroir. After vinification, the wines are aged in French oak barrels, where they acquire complexity and sophistication before being bottled.
