Quinta Dos Frades Vinhas Centenárias Grande Reserva Tinto

Descrição

Located in Folgosa, Quinta dos Frades is one of the most beautiful and emblematic estates of 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 the Cistercian order owned in this area. A fortified, imposing and majestic house dominates the estate’s 200 hectares. A stunning landscape stretches along the left bank of the Douro for 1,900 metres, punctuated by a wide variety of tall cypress, orange, almond 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, awarded and recognised as one of the best in the Douro.
