<p></p><p>Quinta do Vallado, established in 1716, is one of the oldest and most famous Quintas in the Douro Valley. It once belonged to the legendary Dona Antia Adelaide Ferreira, and still belongs to her descendents.</p>
<p></p><p>Monte Velho was launched for the first time in 1992, its name comes from the monte located next to the Caridade reservoir, at Herdade do Espor. At the time, the wine boasted the same origin and philosophy as Espor Reserva but was created to reach more people and make daily wine consumption an experience.</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta das Marias, located between Serra do Caramulo and Serra da Estrela. is a family business dedicated to the production of wines from the Dão region, founded about 25 years ago by its owners Elisabeth and Peter Eckler</p>
<p></p><p>For more than three centuries, the Paço do Conde Estate has been owned by the Castelo Branco family. The origin of one of the oldest agricultural enterprises in the country, founded in 1928 under the name Sociedade Agrícola Paço do Conde, is now managed by the current owners, José António Ferrão Castelo Branco, Luís Miguel Ferrão Castelo Branco and Maria Luísa Castelo Branco Schmidt, grandchildren of the founder.</p>
<p></p><p>Niepoort Nat Cool Baga is naturally “cool and funky”. It represents an innovative concept initiated by Niepoort, in which various producers came together to create light and easy-to-drink wines. Nat Cool try to showcase a different and elegant side of the Baga grape variety</p>
<p></p><p>Located in the Alto Alentejo area, Herdade da Fonte Santa has centuries of conservation and improvement of its soil. combined with experience in the best pratices and processes.</p>
<p></p><p>Copo Alegre Vinhas Velhas Red Wine has a concentrated colour. On the nose it's a serious wine, combining floral notes, red fruits, spices and nuts, revealing the complexity of the old vines that gave rise to it. On the palate it is structured, fresh and with excellent acidity. It also reveals its youth through the nerve of its tannins</p>
<p> The 2011 Torre Do Esporao, mostly Alicante Bouschet, Syrah and Touriga Franca along with some others, has been in bottle for some two years now. This is sensual in its texture, caressing and appealing. Yet, it has plenty of power and backbone. Intense on the finish, it is not yet able to express its fine fruit. Yet, in the long run, it seems sophisticated, balanced and very classy. It should age beautifully, too.</p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>A wine with more fruity profile and without the influences of wood ageing. They found the ideal fruit from Dom Martinho vineyard and named it after this vineyard. Quinta do Carmo dates back to the seventheenth century when King D. Joao IV had it buit for a Lady of his court.</p>
