Quinta da Devesa was included in the first map of the Demarcated Douro Region from the beginning, created by the Baron of Forrester in 1844. Since 1941, when the Fortunato family acquired the story of José Fortunato Júnior and his wife, Antónia Soares , is a life dedicated to Port Wine. Since then it has been an independent family company, dedicated to the production of Douro and Port Wine.
Lugar da devesa - Canelas 5050-437
Peso da Régua
Located in the Cima Corgo sub-region, 10 kms from Peso da Régua, it is located on a promontory that dominates the affluence of the Douro and Corgo rivers and from where you can enjoy a majestic panorama that covers the valleys of those rivers and mountains in the region.
Its 34 hectares, planted with the grape varieties recommended for the region, extend from an elevation of 60m to 500m, part facing south receiving excellent sun exposure, and part facing north from where it receives cooler prevailing winds. This diversity of sun and wind exposure causes varying levels of maturation and development that allow harvesting timings in optimal conditions.
Since 1941, the vintages considered to be of superior quality by the family winemakers, have been kept and aged in wooden containers in our cellar. These extraordinary wines are used today to produce Quinta da Devesa Port Wines.
