Located in the Douro River valley, in a transitional region right on the border between the Douro demarcated region and the Vinho Verde region, Quinta da Castanheira has always been known for being a property with rich granitic soil. The 1000Curvas project thus takes advantage of the best of these two worlds: the granitic soil typical of the region of Verde and the influence of the Douro River right there, 2km away.
