In 1877, D. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, already the owner of the Douro’s largest agricultural estate, bought 300 hectares of virgin land from the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa at public auction. Her dream was to build a model farm from scratch, applying the vast experience she had accumulated throughout her life as a businesswoman in the Douro. Her pioneering spirit in the Upper Douro stemmed from the conviction that it was possible to produce Port wine of excellent quality. Grapes from the Quinta formed the basis of some of the finest Port wines shipped from Gaia. Today, the Quinta is still owned by his descendants, who have devoted the last two decades to selecting batches of Port wine with a view to launching aged Tawnies. To this end, they have equipped one of the two cellars built by their ancestor with vats, casks and barrels for ageing these Port wines, which come exclusively from the estate’s vineyards. It is with justifiable pride that the fifth and sixth generations have carried on the family tradition, patiently waiting for the right moment to present these wines to the world.
