Quinta Dos Frades Reserva Tinto

Descrição

Located in Folgosa, Quinta dos Frades is one of the most beautiful and emblematic estates in the Douro wine region. Its records date back to 1256, when it was donated to the Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas, becoming one of the most important agricultural units owned by the Cistercian order in the area. A fortified, imposing, and majestic house dominates the 200 hectares of the estate. The breathtaking landscape stretches along the left bank of the Douro for 1,900 meters, dotted with a wide variety of tall cypresses, orange trees, almond trees, and olive trees. The property has 100 hectares of vineyards, almost half of which are over 90 years old. Drawing on centuries of accumulated winemaking knowledge, the estate launched a portfolio of wines in 2008, among which the Quinta dos Frades DOC Douro red stands out, award‑winning and regarded as one of the best in the Douro.
