Quinta Cova da Raposa

On the outskirts of the ancient city of Braga, in the granite hills of northwestern Portugal, Manuel Taxa and Elisabete Raposo tend a small farm that produces wine, preserves, teas, and honey. The name translates as "the fox's den," and the estate has the quality of somewhere that has decided, quietly and without fuss, to do things properly.

Quinta Cova da Raposa was established in 1997 as an organic operation focused as much on ecological restoration as on wine production. Taxa and Raposo were among the first in the Vinho Verde region to commit to zero-sulfite winemaking; since 2016 all wines bottled at the quinta carry no added sulfites. The couple have built the estate from a neglected piece of land into a functioning agro-ecosystem, adding fruit and vegetable production, beehives, and livestock alongside the vineyard.
