Cortes do Tua

Cortes do Tua Wines is born from the intersection between the three-year-old vineyards of the Tua Valley and the hand of two young winemakers Duarte da Costa and Ana de Almeida.

The passion for wine, the international experience and the viticultural tradition of the douro have united these two young people in the production of harmonious, balanced and elegant wines.

The grapes for the wines Cortes do Tua come from 15 hectares of vineyards divided into plots.The vineyards of white wines are located at a quota of 500 to 700 m of altitude.and the red wines are located on the slopes of the river Tua, at a quota of 300 to 400 m. 

Located on the left bank of the river Tua, in the sub-region of the Douro Superior, in the heart of the Douro demarcated region, the vineyards in integrated production enjoy an excellent exposure to the sun - south and west.The varieties planted in our vineyards are divided into plots of white varieties and red varieties.

The white varieties are: Rabigato, Viosinho, Gouveio, Códega do Larinho, Malvasia Fina and Arinto.We also have a part of old vineyards where there are about 20 varieties all mixed.

The red varieties: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Alicante Bouschet
