Douro Valley is a fantastic place for viticulture and producers are victims of the portuguese paradox, despite being one of the most important and oldest wine region.

Douro valley its not only Port wine,, in 2 years time Touriga nacional will be a target for wine lovers...All the wines from Douro start to appear in international markets.

I really believe that we dont have a steady strategy of marketing the excellence of our great wines...

The wines need the love of everyone and time to be ready...like networking is question of time...


The International wine Challenge London 2008 it was great for us...Red Velvet reserva 2004 was BRONZE MEDAL.


Today i was in Douro Valley and talked with my fantastic team...I said to them:" Next year i want a silver medal!" They said no Mr. Marques, we want the golden medal..."

Can you believe this from a small producer that compete with 296 different wines from all over the world....

Great grapes, but a very special touch from Mr. Valter Silva made this great wine RED VELVET 2004 RESERVA.

Warmest regards from Douro Valley.
