\n\tA estate known for the quality of its soil\n<\/h2>\n\n

\n\tQuinta da C\u00f4rte illustrates the nobility of an unavoidable history and an exceptional schist terroir. Its history dates back to the 19th century, with the first reports of vine plantations dating back to 1814. Parcel 505 is one of the oldest post-phylloxera plots with over 100 mixed grape varieties. Historically linked to Port Wine production, it began producing DOC Douro and Port Wines under its own name when it became part of Philippe Austruy’s wine properties in 2013. Today, Quinta da C\u00f4rte follows the Austruy vineyard philosophy and is part of the Commanderie de Peyrassol brotherhood in C\u00f4tes de Provence, Ch\u00e2teau Malescasse, a “cru bourgeois” in the Haut-M\u00e9doc region of France, and Tenuta Casenuove in Tuscany.\n<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n\tA vineyard subject to all attention\n<\/h2>\n\n

\n\tIn extreme conditions like those in the Douro, the vineyard demands constant monitoring. It requires even more attention because working in this vineyard is extremely challenging, and the diversity of grape varieties does not allow for a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a personalized effort, every day.\n<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n\tLetting the land speak\n<\/h2>\n\n

We let the land speak. The rhythm is created by the land. To perpetuate the identity of the estate, each harvest involves contemplation, daily and rigorous monitoring in the vineyard, always in close proximity to nature and what it brings each passing year. Nothing is done in haste; we pause, breathe, and feel each moment so that the essence of this land is reflected in every harvest and every bottle.<\/p>\n\n

Adopting a sustainable cultivation method, Quinta da C\u00f4rte prioritizes the gradual creation of a natural balance between the vineyard and its environment. Each of the 22 plots is cultivated differently, and each vine within every plot receives differentiated attention. Following the philosophy of Austruy’s vineyards, the interventions aim to accompany the vine, allowing it to give its best in a unique context every year: the harvest. The same applies to the winery \u2013 vinifications never force the material, enabling the greatest possible expression of the land from which it originates.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1292,"parent":1713,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1723","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"acf":[],"builder_content":"
