Description

From the heart of the Douro Wine Region, in the transition between Cima Corgo and Douro Superior, Flor das Tecedeiras is a modern style wine, full of fruit, and a mirror of the excellent terroir of this region.

Crafted from the Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Amarela grape varieties, Flor das Tecedeiras is an opulent wine made based on the greatest tradition of the great Douro farmers. On the nose, it presents nuances of woodland aromas, where the notes of blackberries and blueberries blend with the aromas of plums. In the mouth it is expressive and voluminous, revealing a floral profile with delicate notes of black fruits, vanilla, and a certain minerality.

Known in the past as Quinta da Teixeira or Teixeira Velha, Quinta das Tecedeiras owes its current name to the nuns who lived there and dedicated themselves to weaving linen, which in the past was grown there.

At the end of the 19th century, with the death of the vines caused by Phylloxera, the Quinta subsisted thanks to the production of olive oil and fruit. Years later, it was time to reconvert the vineyards, but with the care of keeping some old plots, a heritage that offers today to the oenology, with the production of wines from the old vineyards.

With schist soils, a hot climate in summer, and harsh winters, protected from the wind by the mountains that surround the area, this is a dream terroir for any winemaker who aims to produce good Douro wines.
