概要

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 was grown there in the past.

At the end of the 19th century, with the death of the vineyards caused by phylloxera, the Quinta survived thanks to the production of olive oil and fruit. Years later, the vineyards were reconverted, but care was taken to keep some of the old plots, a legacy that is now offered to oenology, with the production of wines from the old vines. With its schist soils, hot summer climate and harsh winters, protected from the wind by the mountain ranges that surround the area, this is a dream terroir for any winemaker who aspires to produce good Douro wines.
