Quinta das Apegadas

Douro reds built on Touriga Nacional and Franca, rated by major critics.

Quinta das Apegadas sits in the Douro, Portugal's most celebrated red wine region, where steep terraced vineyards and schist soils shape wines of depth and structure. The winery works with the region's signature varieties—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Barroca—grapes bred for the Douro's intensity and capable of aging with grace. QTA. Velha Grande Reserva and QTA. Velha Reserva, both blends anchored in Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. The entry-level QTA. Velha Tinto offers a more approachable expression of the same core varieties. These wines reflect the Douro's character: dark fruit, mineral grip, and the tannin structure that defines the region's finest reds.
