about quinta de ramozeiros

The winery and family home are perched on the top of a mountain in the Douro Valley, surrounded by vineyards. The Alves de Cunha family has lived and worked here, producing wines from native Portuguese varietals for 30 years. 

The sharply sloping vineyards are terraced and sit at altitudes up to 1,315 feet. Soils are primarily schist, which allows for deep root penetration. The slopes provide the vines with excellent sun exposures, with different plots affording different varietals uniquely suitable conditions. 

The winery is committed to "...an ethical protocol of love and responsibility for the soil, the vineyards, the people, and nature as a whole." We employ sustainable farming methods that support biodiversity and the local ecosystem. In addition to native grape varietals, we cultivate olive, almond and fruit trees and a kitchen garden. 

Great care is taken in the vineyard and the hand-harvested grapes are fermented with minimal intervention, with the ultimate goal always to allow nature to express itself freely.
