In 2016, Mateus Nicolau de Almeida , descendant of an illustrious Douro winemaking family that pioneered Port wine, founded his project together with Teresa Ameztoy. They work small plots of old vines, combining traditional methods with biodynamic, sustainable and minimal intervention practices.
Trans Douro Express Cima Corgo comes from this intermediate region, with vines planted in shale soils and a mild Mediterranean climate that provides balance and maturity. The grapes are macerated and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks, where they age for 8 months. This wine, defined by Mateus as “climatic”, captures the essence of Cima Corgo and reflects the journey up the Douro River.
