Welcome to the heart of traditional Port wine production, where centuries-old craftsmanship meets the lush landscapes of the Douro Valley.
Our Port winemaking process is a testament to the traditional artistry and dedication that define this unique fortified wine.
The grapes undergo through the ancient process of "pisa a pé", where workers crush the grapes with their feet normally with the sound of local traditional Portuguese music, and the juice is extracted, together with the essential compounds that contribute to our Port wine's depth and complexity.
Here the natural sugars undergo a transformation into alcohol, and particularly in Port Wine, this fermentation process is then interrupted by adding “Aguardente”, a high degree alcoholic grape spirit that will stop the ongoing fermentation and preserve the natural sugars. This is what gives Port wine its distinctive fortified character.
The wine will then mature in our French oak barrels located in our Quinta do Beijo.
Time becomes an ally as the wine ages gracefully for several years, absorbing the nuances of the wood and developing unparalleled richness and smoothness.
Our family, with a watchful eye and a deep understanding curates and blends the wines to maintain consistency and quality throughout the years.
