QUINTA DO
MOURÃO
Since 1999, the Mário Braga , Herdeiros Organisation,
has been developing a set of estates around Quinta
do Mourão. These estates were formed in the 18th
century, in the map of the demarcated region of the
Douro, integrated in the winemaking heritage allying
tradition to modernity.
The estates integrating this project, cumulate 120Ha
and are located between the “Baixo Corgo” and the
“Cima Corgo”, consisting in new vines (between 12
and 18 years old) and old vines (over 30 years old). In
the last few years, Quinta do Mourão has undergone
a number of changes. These range from the
restructuring of the vineyard to the modernisation of
the winery with a new cellar featuring the latest
technology, stainless steel tanks and vats to the
production of Porto and Douro wines.
The last mentioned go through an ageing process in
french oak barrels and most the fortified wines have been
stocked through the years in wooden barrels, constituting
now a patrimony of very old “generous wines”.
