Quinta do Farfão: An Exceptional Wine Estate in the Douro Superior
Located in the Douro Superior sub-region, more specifically in the parish of Lousã, Quinta do Farfão is a breathtaking wine estate, inserted in the historic Douro Demarcated Region, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001.
This magnificent Quinta covers a total area of 75.90 hectares, with a stunning landscape composed of terraced slopes, typical characteristics of the region. The soil composed mainly of shale and the sun exposure facing south, towards the majestic Douro River, make this land perfect for growing vines. Combined with a favorable microclimate, it is one of the most favorable locations for the production of quality fortified wines.
Access to the property can be done via dirt paths, either from the coastal road to the Douro river to the south or the EM623 to the north. The Quinta's architectural complex, picturesquely located on the mid-slope, preserves its original charm in granite stone and is well preserved.
With the combination of modern planting and treatment techniques, combined with the ancestral traditions of the region, the wines of Quinta do Farfão have reached an exceptional quality and compete with the best Douro wines.
