Quinta do Cardo vineyard's are certified as an organic production since 2009. We practice organic farming, using sustainable agricultural procedures that promote biodiversity and have a positive impact on the agro-ecosystem.
Since 2014, Quinta do Cardo wine's are certified as organic.
The vines planted at an average altitude of 750 meters above sea level, in the middle of the Iberian plateau, are protected by the Marofa and Castelo Rodrigo mountains and surrounded by the Douro, Coa and Águeda rivers. Due to the altitude, the thermic amplitudes are high (hot days and cool nights) which origin fresh and mineral wines, with good ageing potential.
"Our wines are the result of a perfect combination between the Terroir and the best our people have to offer."
