Quinta da Costa, today run by couple Miguel and Fillipa, has been in the family for six generations. It is located along the Pinhão River in the heart of the Douro in northern Portugal. The vines are located at altitudes ranging from 200 meters to 450 meters, with exposure to south-east, south, and south-west, all of them planted in slate-heavy soil.
In the seventies and eighties, the grandfather of the Miguel dedicated himself to the reconversion of the vine, expanding the area and mechanizing the vineyard. He decided to keep about three hectares of old vineyard in memory of his ancestors. It is with these old vines that they produce their best wines today.
In 2006, the Quinta passed into the hands of the Miguel, and they have been dedicated to producing the best grapes and, inevitably, the best wine ever since. Respecting tradition and looking forward is are key for QCP, and their wines teel that story.

Considered one of the best producers in the Côte de Nuits (which means Burgundy, which means the rest of the world). Robert established the domaine in the 1930s, buying fabled vineyards in Bonnes Mares, Chambertin Clos de Bèze and Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses (the biggest single owner of this vineyard), and became famous for making ultra precise and delicate Pinot Noirs that have no apparent comparison outside of Burgundy.
The legendary Graillot family has a long history of making wine in the Northern Rhone, where their ability to produce some of the most characteristic Syrah in the world. Given the abilities of this winemaking family, it is only natural that they sought to explore other regions.
This is very much a family business with mom, pops, and the two children doing all the work in both vineyard, cellar, and in the office. Piero Busso is still at the helm of the domaine that he established in the early 1950s.
