Harvest 2023 in 23 photos, because photos are worth a thousand words, and post-harvest is when we catch our breath and reminisce on our now 32nd (since 1992!) elaboration of yet another batch of great Portos and Douro DOC wines with our incredible team at Quinta do Tedo!
Tawny and Ruby hues as the sun goes down. The calm before the storm. 3, 2, 1… harvest!
What would we do without the dexterous hands of our dear village neighbors who help us harvest Tedo’s fruit each year?
Thank you, Adega Team, for your tireless competence, commitment and smiles - it takes a lot of Super Bock minis to make great Porto!
Red velvet walking trail - foot treading through blackberry-jam-like must. Remember, purple feet = promising Port!
Team Cook Adelaide keeps us well-fed during harvest, especially with her famous fritas (cinnamon-sugar covered beignets).
Gastronomic creations with the summer bounty from our garden and fruit trees - goat cheese and walnut stuffed figs, oxheart tomato salad with herbs and our estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and vineyard peaches, creme anglaise and sesame cookies, of course with a glass of Tawny!
Glimpses from our annual Harvest Experience and Winemaker for a Day experiences led by owners Kay and Vincent Bouchard.
Sipping our Vintage 2017 while foot-treading 2023… could this be another Vintage year? We’ll find out in Spring 2025, after sending our new Porto samples to the IVDP for approval.
Three perspectives of Tedo - summer heat waves and rain storms added stress to harvest 2023, but we chose the right days to pick and admired how summers’ vibrant colors pop with an occasional stormy-gray backdrop.
