The different altitudes and soil diversity give rise to a diversity of terroirs.
VINEYARDS AND GRAPE VARIETIES
-
The vineyards that make up Lavradores de Feitoria are spread throughout the Douro wine region, whether in the Lower and Upper Corgo or in the Upper Douro. The fact that the grapes come from 20 different estates contributes to the complexity and character of Lavradores de Feitoria wines.
-
The versatility and multiplicity of native grape varieties and exposures, the vines with such different ages, the varying altitudes, and the diversity of soils give rise to a diversity of terroirs that greatly "feeds" the unique character of these Douro wines.
-
Among the vineyards, some over 80 years old, you can find the following red grape varieties: Alvarelhão, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca or Touriga Francesa and Touriga Nacional; and white varieties: Boal, Códega, Gouveio, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc and Viosinho.
PHILOSOPHY
a hallmark of the Douro's character
-
At Lavradores de Feitoria, we produce blended wines and what we call terroir wines. The former – under the brands Lavradores de Feitoria, Gadiva, Cheda, and Três Bagos – are made from a rigorous selection of grapes from various estates and reveal the complexity, richness, and blending tradition of Douro wines. The terroir wines, which include the brands Meruge, Vinha do Sobreiro, and Quinta da Costa das Aguaneiras, aim to reflect the character and individuality of a specific vineyard plot.
-
Lavradores de Feitoria's proposal emerges as the Douro region establishes itself as a global wine-producing center, reinforcing two adjectives associated with the region's wines: elegance and balance.
All the wines from Lavradores de Feitoria – from everyday wines to those meant for aging – are balanced, elegant, and oriented towards fine cuisine, but always with a distinct Douro character. One should expect, and demand, the strong personality of each brand as an expression of terroir, concept, or even fantasy.
