Executive Chef Michael Greenwood has assembled five courses of tasting accompaniments for the dinner. The export manager for the winery, Filipe Marinho, will be with us to explain the uniqueness of each wine and why these are wines which can be enjoyed now and also held to be enjoyed years down the road. All of these wines will be available for purchase as well.
Owned by the Fortunato family, Quinta da Devesa is a small 34 hectare winery in the Cima Corgo sub region of the Douro Valley. The winery has been dedicated to the production of Douro and Port wine since 1941. The vineyards range in elevation from 500 to 600 meters, part south-facing, with excellent sun exposure, and part north-facing where it receives cooler prevailing winds. The vineyards are managed under a minimum intervention system known as “Integrated Production,” focusing on prevention of pests and disease rather than spraying once infected. This way, the vineyards provide a healthy habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals, ensuring adequate biodiversity and a balanced, sustainable environment.
