Foz Tua first arose from a passion for the Alto Douro wine region and culminated in the acquisition of a property in 2014. With about 4 hectares and immeasurable potential and resources, this beautiful property overlooking the Tua dam embraces the rich history of a very special terroir. The vineyard, planted over 30 years before, had reached a level of maturity that opened the doors to a dependable winegrowing operation, with highly concentrated grape berries and the distinctive characteristics of unique DOC Douro wines.
The “seeds” were sown, and with a burning desire to improve and innovate on the territory at the same time respecting tradition, Foz Tua began production on 17 July 2014, dedicating itself to studying and growing grapes of excellence in the Douro region, intended primarily for winemaking.
Foz Tua is a family company that pays tribute to its origin, the town of Foz do Tua, in Carrazeda de Ansiães (Bragança), styling its products with its namesake.
