The terroir
The vines are planted on an astonishing geometric terraced landscape built by hand on the typical schist of the region. Originally from the Cima Corgo sub-region, the vines that give rise to this wine face west at an altitude of 300 metres.

Winemaking
Harvested by hand. Hand-picked grapes.
Destemming and light crushing of the grapes.
The grapes ferment in used 500-litre French oak barrels, where they are gently racked and pigeon-holed.
After ageing in barrel for 19 months, the grapes are fined and bottled. The wine is left to rest for a year before being marketed. 
All our wines are corked using natural cork.
The wines are neither filtered nor cold-stabilised and may therefore produce a precipitate with age.

Allergens information

Contains sulphites.

Lima & Smith

It was in 2011 that Marcelo Lima, a Brazilian businessman, and Tony Smith, ex-journalist and correspondent, got together to buy Quinta de Covela, once owned by filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira, but which had been abandoned for two years. The purchase was the fulfilment of a dream for both of them. The previous team joined the challenge, including winemaker Rui Cunha, and the will to do more and better was more than visible.

In the vinho verde region, Lima & Smith operates Quinta de Covela, in certified organic production, in an area which is the birthplace of the Avesso grape variety, recognised for the quality of its whites and rosés. In the demarcated Douro region, it produces wines under the brand Tecedeiras, a brand with history in the Douro. In the Douro Verde, thanks to its partnership with the Eça de Queiroz Foundation, Lima & Smith produces a classic Tormes vinho verde in tribute to the writer.
