On the most easterly part of the Douro Superior, Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro you will find the 476 hectare estate of Colinas do Douro, an amalgamation of 5 Quintas on the Spanish border. They are at the extreme East, 400-600 metres above sea-level. Whilst vultures are circling the cliffs, some of the most challenging viticulture is taking place below.

Biodiversity & Organics are key elements of this project, with every care taken to preserve, restore and value the wildlife and natural environment; bat boxes, bird sanctuaries, reservoirs, every possible action is taken to ensure a sustainable way of life for the animals and people of the surrounding the winery.

In 2010 the project released its first wines, having spent the previous decade selling grapes to the major Quintas down-river. They have a full offering including some exciting & experimental single varietals.
