Quinta da Avessada is located in the centre of the Douro demarcated region at its highest point (at an altitude of 600 meters) and the flattest point in the whole region (about 1,000ha of plateau), consisting of four buildings (one of them is one hundred years old) and 25ha of planting. Due to this, 90% of its plantation is destined to the production of Muscat grapes, with which Moscatel de Favaios is produced, and is designated a national apéritif. It is the Wine-Growing Village of Favaios with about 1,000 inhabitants that gives name to this wine.
