"Our wines are produced from the finest varieties of old vines that are over 90 years old, planted at an altitude between 50 and 250 metres above sea level and new vines around 40 years old. The presence of Touriga Franca stands out among the old vines, being one of the great varieties of the Douro, adapted both to table and fortified wines. Some of the dozens of dominant varieties at Quinta dos Frades are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Branca, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Carvalha, Donzelinho and Rabigato. The vineyard's exposure to the east and west is crucial to achieve balance in the different agricultural years, thus conferring the wines that are produced with a variety of aromas, flavours and structure, which assure the uniqueness of Quinta dos Frades."
