QUINTA DA PEDRA ESCRITA

3

In 2007 I rehabilitated the Quinta da Pedra Escrita estate – Freixo de Numão – which has belonged to my family for 8 generations and where I planted the first vineyard during that year.
The vineyard was planted here because I trust that the granite soils in altitude give rise to wines with extreme complexity aromas and great ageing potential, like in the old times.

This is a tradition we want to recover in a world of wines increasingly stereotyped, emphasizing the unique character of the granite white wines from the high altitude vineyards of Douro.
These wines are also a tribute to those who have shaped my character and always inspired me.

DOURO SUPERIOR: GRANITE AND ALTITUDE

One of the great white wines of the Douro.
The elegance and complexity of the great whites of the Douro Superior, from grapes grown in granite soils in altitude of our estate.
