Quinta do Vale Meão

A vineyard steeped in history, this immense Estate is a standard bearer for the Douro and Portugal. Their wines have grace, finesse and boldness.

The Olazabal family, proud owners and descendants of the founder, Antonia Adelaide Ferreira, are now writing a significant chapter for this iconic estate and the region. Since 1998, Winemaker Francisco Xito Olazabal is at pains to understand the vast pallet of grapes and terroirs he has within his estate, a passion reflected in the character of his wines.

In the last two decades he has been selecting Port Wine blends with a view to launching Aged Tawniy Ports. For this purpose, he has equipped one of the two wineries that were built at the Quinta by his Ancestor with wooden vats, casks and ‘pipas’ for the aging of these Ports, which come exclusively from the property's vineyards.

It is with justifiable pride that the fifth and sixth generations recover the family tradition after patiently waiting for the right moment to present these wines to the world.

The range of Ports is now comprised by Vintage Port, Finest Reserve and 10 Years Old Tawny.
