We were walking through the beautiful vineyards of Quinta dos Montes, in the Douro Valley, with our good friend, and the estate’s winemaker, Pedro Sequeira, as he was telling us about his latest creation, a single vineyard wine from a very special parcel of the estate. https://lnkd.in/eq5D6RG When we reached Parcela Nº 5, we definitely felt something special and unique! It is hard to put in words just how magic Douro’s very old vineyards are… This is a tiny parcel, totaling only 0,61 hectares but with such a huge diversity, 23 different varieties identified with more than 100 years old. It was like entering a living museum! Pedro was explaining the love and care devoted to this vineyard, how plants are tended one by one, or “Cêpa-a-Cêpa” in local dialect, and his dream to somehow express the spirit of the place and the complex texture that the old vines have into the bottle. All of a sudden a lot of ideas were growing in our minds. #nauvegar #winedesign #packaging #branding #douro
