Quinta da Carregosa is located deep in the Corgo area of the famous Douro region that is arguably the most well known wine producing region in Portugal. With the well deserved press attention to Portugal recently and demand for its wines, we found that Quinta da Carregosa was a perfect fit for our portfolio and philosophy- great wines at a great value. Through the help of  Vitor Mendez from Vinixa, a wine export consortium company,  these wines are now available in many markets in the US and we look forward to sharing this great value with you.
