Discovering Quinta da Corte: a benchmark in Douro wine tourism

Quinta da Corte

Located in the heart of the golden triangle, home to the world’s most prestigious quintas, Quinta da Corte is distinguished by its unique personality.

Its commitment to respect its magnificent terroir and the application of traditional methods, complemented by the latest advances, enables it to produce wines of profound character. The authentic style of its wines testifies to the harmony between indigenous varietals and schist soils.

The complexity of its terroir, hardly altered by mechanisation, allows its plots to be classified into a wine-growing mosaic of great complexity. Although the fame of Douro wines was built on Port, the increase in the quality of non-fortified wines in the last two decades has been remarkable, placing some of these wines on a par with the best Mediterranean crus.

Since the beginning of 2013, under the direction of Philippe Austruy, Quinta da Corte has undergone a significant investment programme to achieve the excellence that its terroir has to offer.

The collaboration with Philippe Derenoncourt and his team has been key in this process, marking a before and after in the history of this wine estate.

Innovation and excellence in winemaking

Winemaking at Quinta da Corte takes place in two distinct facilities, each dedicated to enhancing the quality of its wines.

The Porto cellar, renovated with a deep respect for traditional materials and forms, and the red wine cellar, conceived by Pierre Yovanovitch, represent the perfect union between tradition and avant-garde.

These facilities are not only a testimony to winemaking excellence, but also a meeting point for wine enthusiasts seeking to understand the process from grape to bottle.

Quinta da Corte is preparing to participate in the next edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace on 13 and 14 March 2024, where visitors will be able to learn more about its wine tourism proposal.

This event will be an exceptional opportunity to explore the essence and dedication that Quinta da Corte invests in each bottle, promising an unforgettable experience for wine and wine tourism lovers.
