At the Quinta do Convento de São Pedro das Águias, in the heart of the Távora Valley, biodiversity is more than just a characteristic of the territory - it is a real driving force behind the sustainability and identity of our wines. Surrounded by native Mediterranean forests, the vines grow in balance with nature in an ecosystem that values what is genuine and lasting, marked by native species such as cork oaks, strawberry trees, aromatic cistus, and wild chestnut trees. These forests are typical of the Douro's Mediterranean climate and contribute directly to the well-being of the vineyards.
In addition to its natural beauty, the presence of this vegetation helps conserve the soil, prevent erosion, promote water retention, soften temperature extremes, and attract diverse fauna, including pollinators and natural predators of pests. The result? More balanced vines that reflect the unique character of the Douro terroir.
At Kranemann Wine Estates, each bottle should reflect the grape variety, the soil, and the life surrounding it. Protecting biodiversity is an essential part of our philosophy of sustainable viticulture.
Don't miss the opportunity to get to know the wines born from a place where the forest breathes with the vines - and where nature can be felt in every glass.
