The Casa da Torre wine project began in 1977 with the purchase of the property by Manuel Artur de Sousa Lopes.
At the beginning of the 1980s, work began to prepare for the planting of 5 hectares of vines and the restoration of the existing winery. At the time, the winery consisted of just one building, 9 metres wide by 18 metres long, and the winemaking practices, which at the time were the usual ones given the size of the production, were not very mechanised. The wine produced there was destined for the local market, where most of the sales were made outside the winery.
At the end of the 1990s, more specifically in 1997, a project was realised, headed by Gonçalo de Sousa Lopes, Manuel's son. With the aim of increasing production, the winery now operates three properties belonging to the family, totalling 21 hectares of vineyards - Quinta da Casa da Torre, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta da Senra.
