This designation highlights the first and most iconic wine of Quinta Vale D. Maria, which embodies what is most special about the Douro: the old vineyards. The marvel of these vineyards is its field blend, with 41 grape varieties over 60 years old. This unique combination of grape varieties, which starts in the soil, continues in the baskets, and is completed in the lagar after a careful selection, makes Quinta Vale D. Maria Vinhas Velhas a one-of-a-kind wine. It is as if it results from a secret recipe known only to nature itself. And nature is generous with these vineyards, whose exposure to sunlight from the east, west, south, southeast, and southwest ensures genuine sunbaths, while also protecting them from the northern winds. The 15 hectares of old vineyards over 60 years old that make up this wine blend include, among others, Rufete, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Francisca, Sousão, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, creating a palette of grape varieties that illustrates the true identity of the Douro.
