The QUINTA DA SEQUEIRA, located in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, was founded in 1899 by José Joaquim Costa, married to Maria José Sequeira, to whom the name of the Quinta is due. Currently, with 15 ha of vineyards, QUINTA DA SEQUEIRA is owned by Mário Cardoso and Maria da Graça, great-granddaughter of its founder. Its privileged location in the middle of the Douro Superior, combined with a shale soil, low rainfall and large thermal amplitudes, provide intense, aromatic and concentrated musts, determinant for the quality of the wines QUINTA DA SEQUEIRA. Because we believe deeply in the importance of the personality and character of the wines, we use only the best and traditional douro varieties, with predominance of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Barroca in the red varieties, the white, malvazia fina, gouveio, rabigato, viosinho and códega do Larinho. We still preserve the best portions of old vines, some over one hundred years old, which, although less productive, offer the highest concentrations. The success and recognition of QUINTA DA SEQUEIRA is the result of a work with passion, devotion and determination. Quality control begins in the vineyard, and every step, from winemaking to the final product, is subject to strict quality controls and high standards of demand. To achieve this level of excellence, we use only grapes produced in QUINTA DA SEQUEIRA, and the entire process of winemaking, stage and bottling is carried out in the Farm itself by our oenology team, without any external dependence.
