Quinta de Cidrô

A symbol of innovation in the Douro, Real Companhia Velha’s Quinta de Cidrô surprises with its excellence in combining local grapes with the best international varieties.

● Located in São João da Pesqueira, Quinta de Cidrô is the avant-garde laboratory of the historic Real Companhia Velha. On this privileged Douro plateau, the producer demonstrated singular audacity by planting foreign grapes like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Pinot Noir alongside indigenous benchmarks. The result is a range of wines with a cosmopolitan, fresh, and incredibly polished profile, capturing the vigor of the schist soil without losing the aromatic typicity of the varieties. It is a fascinating proposition for those seeking a modern, elegant, and open-minded Douro.
