Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is located in Covas do Douro in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro – a unique area of 85 hectares that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The property is owned by the Amorim family, who have been linked to wine since 1870, when they began producing corks for the Port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Since 1999, the Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo and Quinta da Taboadella properties have been managed by Luisa Amorim, who has since then taken the family wine business forward. Today, it forms one of the most important family groups in Portugal, extending its activities internationally and across different sectors.
The wines and vineyards have ancestral roots in Portugal's wine regions of excellence - in the Douro with Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo and in the Dão with Quinta da Taboadella. Indigenous grape varieties are cultivated on 127 ha of vineyards where the alliance between traditional processes and sophisticated technology is the genesis of the creation of exceptional wines.
