Porto Vintage Quinta do Estanho 1994 - Port Wine

The producer

On the sharp and steep banks of the Douro, blessed both by the sun and by the art of man, the vines produce a nectar worthy of even the very finest tables.

AThe archaeological fame of the Douro predates its wine making reputation. In fact, this region hosted many peoples who discovered the riches of the subsoils. They dug for gold and tin, which were not only found in abundances but also available for extraction by the rudimentary means prevailing in pre-historical times.

From tin to wine was but a step. And, on the left bank of the River Pinhão, there stands the ancestrally recognised “Quinta do Estanho” estate, named after the Portuguese word for the mineral that once proliferated here. Following the underground mining, vine cultivation began to emerge.
