On the sinuous terraces of a natural amphitheatre perched high above the right bank of the Douro river, Quinta de Covela has - for at least five centuries now - straddled the rugged terrain where two of Portugal's best-known wine-producing regions now meet. With panoramic views over the river, the Covela estate covers 49 hectares, of which 18 are planted with vineyards.
The estate's location, on the right bank of the Douro; its topographical form - that of an amphitheatre facing south; its micro climate, almost mediterranean in its feel; its poor, granite soils that oblige the vine roots to burrow deep into the earth to find water and minerals; all these elements result in unique wines both in terms of their high quality and their distinctive style. Since the 1980s Covela wines, all assemblages of portuguese and international grape varieties, have been synonymous with innovation, quality and individuality.
