QUINTA DO CÔA
This property comprises all the
properties owned by CARM from Almendra to the
banks of the River Côa, with schistous soils at a
height of between 130 metres and 300 metres,
mainly facing east and south.
Of a total of 76 hectares, there are
11 hectares of vineyards, 8 hectares of which are
old vines, planted in the seventies, and about 3
hectares are selected clones of Touriga
Nacional, planted in 1995.
There are also 22 hectares of olive
groves and 21 hectares of almond groves.
This Quinta is to be found in the
area designated as a World Heritage Site, where
the paleolithic rock carvings in the valley of the
Côa, a tributary of the Douro, reveal a
flourishing culture which goes back 25,000 years.
The wines, oil and almonds produced
here benefit from being within this privileged
region, where the ancient methods of agriculture
are now allied to the best of modern technology.
