At the Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo we believe that nature is the origin of great wines. Harvesting in the vineyard is made to measure, respecting the natural ripening of the grapes in each of the 41 traditional plots, in order to produce extraordinary wines with a well-defined character and a perfect balance between elegance and harmony.
Our wines talk about our land. The Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo has been dedicated to producing Port Wine for centuries. It was only in 2005 that a new project was born, for producing classic Douro wines, exploring different micro-terroirs in the estate’s 41 plots, planted with grape clones from this unique vineyard.
Getting to know the Douro isn’t just about travelling through the region. It means getting to know its estates, traditional vineyards, wineries, wines and the local people who greet us with broad smiles. A visit to Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo - an indispensable reference and the leading award-winning wine tourism site in Portugal - is a journey to a unique and magical universe, where time seems to slow down, making visitors want to linger and return as soon as they can.
Getting here isn’t easy! But we guarantee that the winding journey through terraced vineyards, that stretch out as far as the eye can see, is already an initiatory experience into the true spirit of the Douro Valley.
