Quinta da Pedra Alta

Douro port and dry wines from Portugal's steepest terraces.

Quinta da Pedra Alta sits in the Douro, the steep-terraced heart of Portugal's port country. The winery works with the region's classic dark varieties—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Sousón—to craft its Vintage Port, a wine that marries the Douro's power with the precision required of the style. Rio Tinto, a dry red built from Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, shows the same grapes in a different register. The portfolio also includes Encostas da Pedra Alta Branco, a white blend of Rabigato, Viosinho, and Gouveio—indigenous varieties that thrive in the region's granite soils and continental climate. Decanter, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator have all assessed the winery's output. The Douro demands intensity and balance in equal measure; Quinta da Pedra Alta's wines reflect both.
