Quinta do Javali

Quinta do Javali is a family company and our aim is to produce and sell high quality DOC DOURO, PORT wines (we are the smallest producer of PORT wines) and DOURO olive oil.

Quinta do Javali is located in Nagoselo do Douro, a small village in São João da Pesqueira. It’s on the left bank of the Douro river. We have 18 hectares of vines with the traditional grapes of the region across 5 vineyards located in Nagoselo do Douro and Ervedosa do Douro.

We produce about 45.000 litres per year.

Our wines represent our passion and vision of what the wines of the Douro and Port Wine should be — with enormous personality and character. We make wines that we like and that give pleasure to drink. We find inspiration in the beauty and tradition of the region. We use that tradition to make rustic, natural and unique wines. 80% of our vineyards are organic; one vineyard is run on biodynamic principles.

Our wines express the terroir and the year’s weather. They are dry, dense, full-bodied and most importantly they smell and taste like wine. We are a believer in minimalism in oenology so we try to interfere as little as possible in the winemaking. Only then can we have a genuine and authentic wine. The wine should go its own way and we limit ourselves to just trying to guide it … as a father does a child. For us the secret of wine is always in the vineyard and having good grapes; not in the technology we use.

We make organic wines and now we have started making a biodynamic wine.
