Douro

Titan of Douro

At the foothills of Serra do Reboredo (1,000 meters altitude), in Paredes da Beira, at the highest point of the Douro, it all began. Surrounded by abundant granite outcrops, the area has sandy granite soils interspersed with quartz veins, an altitude between 700 and 1,000 meters, and lies on the slopes of the Távora River. It boasts an enviable heritage of century-old vineyards, untouched by time and preserved through generations of hard work. The result is wines with remarkable freshness, character, and identity! The commitment is always to enhance the best that the vineyard offers, respecting its history, tradition, and the essence of its people.

Vinification: Fresh grapes at their ideal ripeness, hand-picked into 20 kg boxes, are transported to the winery, where they undergo a meticulous manual selection, destemming, and gentle crushing, followed by skin maceration in stainless steel vats for 48 hours. Without decantation, the must was transferred to French oak barrels, where it fermented with indigenous yeasts and remained aging with fine lees stirring for 16 months.

Perfectly pairs with intensely flavored dishes, fatty fish, aged cheeses, cured ham, and fine charcuterie.

Luís Leocádio Vinhos - Titan of Wines

From the beginning, the work has always focused on the search for old vines in the most genuine and less explored places, where there are new stories to be told in the form of wine.

It was at the foot of Serra do Reboredo (1,000 meters altitude), in Paredes da Beira, at the highest point of the Douro, that everything began, giving birth to the brand “Titan of Douro”. Surrounded by abundant granite outcrops, the area has sandy granite soils interspersed with quartz veins, an altitude between 700 – 1,000 meters, located on the slopes of the Rio Távora, and possesses an enviable heritage of century-old vineyards, untouched over time and maintained by the weathered hands of years of hard work over generations. This results in wines of great freshness, character, and identity!

Currently, the project has grown, and Luís Leocádio launches:

“Titan of Beira Interior”, a concept focused on single varietals in various vinification and aging formats.

“Titan of Távora-Varosa”, born from a passion for the region, both for its proximity and inspiration from Aquilino Ribeiro’s novel “Terras do Demo”; a region of excellence for producing the best sparkling wines in Portugal, where we wanted to do things differently and highlight still wines, with a mineral, fresh, and unique character, affectionately called “Sparkling wines without bubbles”.

“Titan of Porto”, where the winemaker becomes a true maestro, skillfully combining different lots to create a wine that is more than the sum of its parts – it is an unparalleled sensory experience and a journey of discovery and experimentation, where each lot is carefully selected and combined to create a unique expression of flavor, aroma, and character that captivates the senses and fuels dreams.
