“For me, sustainability is not a trend — it’s a way of being. It’s about respect for the land, for those who came before us, and for those who will follow. At Quinta Nova, we believe that true innovation comes from regeneration: from listening to nature and giving back more than we take.
Joining IWCA reflects our commitment to measure with rigour, to improve with purpose, and to preserve native grape varieties and the terroir as a whole, so that the Douro Valley’s beauty, resilience, and authenticity can endure for generations to come.”

About
Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
With over two centuries of history, Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo stands as one of the Douro Valley’s most iconic estates — where nature, culture and craftsmanship converge.
Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, its 120 hectares of vineyards have shaped the landscape since 1764.
Owned by the Amorim family since 1999 and led by Luísa Amorim, the estate has become a benchmark for contemporary Portuguese wine, blending authenticity and innovation.
Together with its Relais & Châteaux Wine House Hotel, Quinta Nova embodies the region’s heritage and a deep commitment to sustainability and regeneration.
