ABOUT US

A south-facing amphitheatre of granite and vine, shaped by monks, a filmmaker, and the Atlantic. Quinta de Covela has always been more than a wine estate.

about quinta de covela

five centuries in the making

High on the right bank of the Douro, where the granite hills of the Minho meet the river valley, sits a south-facing natural amphitheatre that has grown things for more than five centuries. This is Quinta de Covela.

49 hectares.

18 planted with vines.

An almost Mediterranean microclimate.

Poor granite soils that force the roots deep, and give the wines both their quality and their distinctive character.

Two Wine Houses One Estate

Quinta de Covela is the home of two distinct wine identities, each true to a different expression of the same land.
