Quinta do Mourão

Miguel Braga and family are carrying on the winemaking tradition begun by his father Mário. Mário Braga grew up in Gaia, and with many friends in Port-making families, learned to love the wines and dreamed of owning Douro vineyards and some-day making Port himself. In 1972 he purchased Quinta do Mourão and four other properties and began making wines which he sold to the established Port shippers.

When Mário passed away in 1999 the family decided to create Mário Braga Herdeiros and began making and selling wine in their own name. A new winery was built and in 2005 Miguel decided to leave his work as an economist and devote himself full time to the family’s wine making business.

The firm’s Port wines go by the name São Leonardo and include Vintage, aged Tawnies and a range of White.
