About Quinta do Estanho

Quinta do Estanho lies on the steep slopes of the Douro river, where a favourable microclimate and abundant sun provide ideal conditions for Port production. For newcomers it's an accessible, well-balanced Port at a good price; for collectors, the smaller, family-run quintas often hold surprisingly good vintages, since they don't carry the name or price tag of the big Port houses, yet share the same soil and the same centuries of experience.

History & Background

Quinta do Estanho was founded in 1757, right as the Douro valley was formally organising itself as a defined Port wine region under the Pombaline system. The family behind the quinta has produced Port for export for nearly 270 years since, through both golden periods and the crises that have hit the region along the way. In recent years the house has expanded its range with table wines from the same land, a natural extension of the long winemaking tradition.

Production & Style

The grapes are hand-harvested on the estate's own terraces and trodden or pressed by traditional method before the wine is fortified with grape spirit. Maturation happens in oak casks in the estate's own cellars.

Signature Style

Terroir-Driven, Fruity, Concentrated
Expect a concentrated profile of dark forest berries, a touch of schist minerality, and a warm, long finish.

Did You Know?

While the big port houses typically blend grapes from many different plots, everything in Quinta do Estanho's port comes from the estate's own terraces, a single-estate philosophy that is relatively rare in the Douro.
