Owned by the Fortunato family, Quinta da Devesa is a small 34 hectare winery in the Cima Corgo sub region of the Douro Valley. The winery has been dedicated to the production of Douro and Port wine since 1941. The vineyards range in elevation from 500 to 600 meters, part south-facing, with excellent sun exposure, and part north-facing where it receives cooler prevailing winds. The vineyards are managed under a minimum intervention system known as “Integrated Production,” focusing on prevention of pests and disease rather than spraying once infected. This way, the vineyards provide a healthy habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals, ensuring adequate biodiversity and a balanced, sustainable environment. 

The nose is aromatic, concentrated and offers power. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and small notes of liquorice associated with hints of strawberry, flowers, olive tree, minerality, mocha, spices, Ceylon tea and Sichuan pepper. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, wild cassis, strawberry, black cherry, blueberry with floral notes and Sichuan pepper in the background.
