✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the rugged, sun-drenched hills of the Douro Superior, Quinta dos Quatro Ventos—translating to the 'Farm of the Four Winds'—is named after the powerful, sweeping winds that cross its high-altitude, terraced vineyards. This dramatic landscape, dominated by ancient schist soils and extreme seasonal temperatures, shapes a wine of immense character and concentration. As a Grande Reserva, this red blend represents the pinnacle of the estate's craftsmanship. The grapes are hand-harvested from low-yielding vines, and the wine undergoes extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply complex, full-bodied masterpiece that marries intense dark berry fruit with notes of rockrose, wild spices, and a distinctive schistose minerality, embodying the untamed spirit of the Douro.
