Porto Vintage Quinta do Infantado 1978 - Port Wine

The Producer

The history of Quinta do Infantado is already long, since its creation in 1816. Established for the Infante D. Pedro, future King D. Pedro IV of Portugal and D. Pedro I of Brazil, it has been in the possession of the Roseira family for over a century. It is located about 4 km from Pinhão, in the unique terroir of Vale de Gontelho, a micro region that has long been famous for the quality of its wines.

For six generations, the “Roseira” of Covas do Douro live with passion and enthusiasm a life of vineyards and wines.

The first two generations only cultivated the vines. With the purchase of Quinta do Infantado, João Lopes Roseira started the production of fortified wine.

In 1979, his sons Luís and António, based on the concepts of terroir and vigneron, began to bottle their own Port wines, fulfilling the family's dream. With this innovation, Quinta do Infantado became the first bottler producer of Port Wine, thus breaking the monopoly of Vila Nova de Gaia traders.

After the death of both, their heirs continue in the search for the highest quality and continue to innovate in the tradition.
