<p></p><p>Inserted in the purest landscape of Alto Douro Vinhateiro, in Ervedosa do Douro, São João da Pesqueira, the Quinta do Pessegueiro winery distinguishes itself by its extraordinary architecture.<br />Authentic challenge of technology, this cellar has been designed in such a way to use the natural gravity throughout the whole process that turns the grape into wine.<br />The wines produced at Quinta do Pessegueiro are the result of a complete and balanced project.</p>
<p></p><p>VINILOURENÇO is based in the Upper Douro, in Poço do Canto village near the City of Meda.

<p></p><p>Quinta do Pôpa tells us the story of how Zeca do Pôpa fulfilled his dream, of how throughout his life he carried his father Francisco Ferreira’s dream, also known as Pôpa</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta de Ventozelo Rabigato White Wine</p> <p>In the nose it presents an intense tropical aroma, suggesting pineapple notes. On the background appears a delicate and pleasant floral side, of orange and jasmine blossoms. It reveals a remarkable acidity, complex and firm structure.</p>
<p></p><p>The nobleness of the grape Gouveio Real, associated to the ground and the microclimate of Douro has given this wine personality and a unique character. We recommend to drink it at a temperature of 10-12ºC</p>
<p></p><p>In the oldest wine region in the world, the Quinta da Penalva or Perdiz was born in the 1990s. This arose from the joining of small plots of land, mostly old vines, inherited from ancestors for whom the cultivation of vines was of little secret, as they had always done it. Later, and already with the current owner, more parcels were added, thus joining the old vines to new plantations, cultivated using the most recent planting techniques</p>
<p></p><p>The Proibido and Permitido wines of the producer and oenologist Marcio Lopes , have more and more a common denominator: Minimum intervention both in the vineyard and the cellar. Respect what the vine gives, and try to make the transformation of the grapes into wine as natural as possible</p>
<p></p><p>The Clos line at Quinta do Javali demonstrates the purity, respect and uniqueness of the expression of the Fonte do Santo terroir, in Ervedosa do Douro, from the vineyard to the glass</p>
