The 'Senator' of the Douro! 

The Cabeça de Burro brand from Caves Vale do Rodo (which brought together the Adegas Cooperativas of Régua, Tabuaço and Armamar), in the Douro, has a rich history dating back to 1959. Its peculiar name, "Cabeça de Burro", comes from the legend of a stubborn donkey that refused to climb the steep slope of the vineyards, symbolising the persistence and determination needed to grow grapes of exceptional quality in this mountainous region. 

Over the years, Cabeça de Burro has become a classic, recognised for its elegance, complexity and ageing capacity. Produced with traditional Douro grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca, it is aged for 12 months in wooden vessels and at least 6 months in the bottle. It's a Douro with a classic profile. 

The Cabeça de Burro brand offers a full range of white and red Reserva wines, as well as the recent Bruto and Reserva Bruto sparkling wines.
