The wines of Taboadella

For years—and in fact, it still is—Portugal has been not only an excellent wine producer but also the largest producer of cork. One of the most important producers is the Amorim Group. They were long a leader in the cork industry, but with the dawn of the new century, they began to feel a bit uneasy. Gradually, the company became a conglomerate, focusing increasingly on winemaking. Twenty years ago, they acquired Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Since 2018, they have managed Taboadella, located in Dao, south of Porto. International varieties were harvested and native varieties were planted, thus paying tribute to Portuguese viticulture.
