Located in the Alijó Valley, Quinta de Cottas is a 10-hectare property that enjoys excellent conditions for the production of Douro and Port wines.
In 2006, Isabel and Pedro Carmo were drawn to a vineyard that once belonged to a large and important estate. Their great love for wine and the Douro Valley made it impossible for them to resist the opportunity to produce their own wines in this unique region, giving rise to this winemaking project. They quickly began the reconversion of the property, recovering the existing old vine plot and planting the remaining available area. From the outset, they defined that the approach at Quinta de Cottas would be to capture the essence of the Douro's main grape varieties, producing high-quality wines with a distinct personality that expressed their unique terroir.
Some of the old vines are up to 70 years old and consist of mixed vines with around 16 different varieties, most notably Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Carvalha.
