Douro Wine Devotion

Property of Douro Wine Devotion since 1996, Quinta do Cerro da Nora is located 3Km from Pinhão on the left bank of River Pinhão, just opposite to the village of São Cristóvão do Douro. Initially, this estate had 4 ha of vineyard and 12 ha of bushes where an authentic work of “territorial filigree” had to be done. Several small parcels of different owners, which were located within the estate, were then purchased which allowed the vineyard area to grow up to 12 ha of fully letter A classified vines. Benefiting of its schist soil and prime solar exposure, in the early 2000s, new vines of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Barroca and Sousão were planted in this estate, where initially only rock and bushes were.
