Producer Details
Passagem is a beautiful 100-hectare estate nestled along the serene riverside banks of the Douro Superior, a renowned sub-region celebrated for making some of Portugal’s best wines. The estate derives its name from an abandoned mountain railway line that runs through its grounds. Owned by the Bergqvist Family, descendants of the Feueheerds, with a legacy in Port production since 1815, Passagem is a joint-venture with acclaimed winemaker Jorge Moreira, twice awarded Portugal’s Best Winemaker.
The estate has 30 hectares under vine, planted with all traditional Port varieties – Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão, Arinto, and Rabigato. Thriving in this continental climate, marked by hot, dry summers and cold winters, the vineyards range from sea level up to 500 meters in altitude. These sun-drenched west-facing slopes, with schist soils and limited water resources, nurture low-yielding vines. The combination of these factors making up this complex terroir, imparts remarkable concentration to the wines.
