The 2024 Campaign was quite polarized, a record year for olives with no less than 56 tons of olives which delivered around 7.300 liters of Premium Olive Oil ! 5 tons of these 56 were sold as olives to be transformed by the Customer in oil and the remaining 51 tons transformed in Premium oil by our Company and sold to other Brands than ours (« Quinta do Atalho » that you can buy on porto-amalho.com). The 56 tons were harvested in our Douro Valley farms, the production in Alentejo / Marvao was totally marginal as we still have significant work there to improve the production. On the Grapes side the result was a rather disappointing 205 tons compared with 235 tons the previous year. This is a consequence of two factors. A fine weather through winter and spring with the appropriate amount of rain but a very dry summer that reduced the water content and therefore the weight of the Grapes. The second factor relates to the overall amount of young vineyards that didn’t reach adult production yet as we are still developing our total production area (around 80 ha). Quality was absolutely fine and that is by far the most important point for us !!! The other very important event in 2024 is our first order from China which represents a landmark for our micro-company. The pain point is that we need now to face the bureaucracies of export / import processes ! Happy New Year to all of you ! Don’t forget to enjoy life with the finest Porto Amalho, Vintage red or white Reserve !
