About CBV

CVD - Companhia dos Vinhos do Douro, operating under cbv.pt, is a producer and marketer of high-quality DOC Douro wines. The company is strategically situated on the left bank of the Douro River, near Tabuaço, within the prestigious Douro Demarcated Region. This location is home to its 8-hectare estate, Quinta do Cabeço, which benefits from excellent sun exposure and an average altitude of 300 meters, ideal conditions for cultivating powerful, elegant, and fresh wines.

The business model centers on the complete winemaking process, from grape cultivation to bottling and sales. While 60% of the grapes are sourced from its own estate, the remaining 40% are purchased from partner winegrowers, ensuring quality control throughout the production chain. The company leverages its deep regional knowledge and modern enology to create wines designed to appeal to contemporary palates. Revenue is generated through the direct sale of its portfolio of wines, which includes various red, white, and rosé options under several brand names.

CVD's product portfolio has expanded significantly since its inception. The company initially launched with the 'Fagote' brand, offering a Colheita and a Reserva red. Following its initial success, it introduced a top-tier wine, 'Oboé', and later expanded its offerings with the 'Arrojo' and 'JM' brands. The current portfolio encompasses a range of styles including Colheita, Reserva, and Grande Escolha reds, as well as Colheita and Reserva whites and a Rosé. The primary grape varietals used are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. The company also offers wine tourism experiences at Quinta do Cabeço, including guided tours and commented tastings.
