The project...

Having regard to the current scenario of the wine world, Quinta Vale de Fornos felt the need to evolve the traditional wines of “quinta” and adapting them to new markets, such as China, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, among others. In Europe we export to Belgium, Poland, Slovakia and other countries, and currently weighs export is 40% of its production.

A project of revitalization of Quinta Vale de Fornos are being created, passing in the first instance by the implementation of 50 hectares of vineyard, which includes national and international relief varieties, such as Fernão Pires, Arinto, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer in white varieties; Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Castelão, Alicante Bouschet, Caladoc and Baga for the red ones.

There will be also a renewal of secular wine cellars, in order to adapt them to the oenological requirements of today, having the concern to maintain the traces and records of their origin, which is one of the ex-libris of the estate.
