• Quinta do Bomfim - Acquired by George Warre for Dow’s in 1896, Quinta do Bomfim is nestled in the ‘well-placed valley’ near Pinhão. The Symington family has upheld its legacy since 1912. Located in the Upper Douro Valley, the estate benefits from a transitional climate and south-facing schist terraces, essential for crafting Dow’s renowned Vintage Ports. The vineyard’s grapes are processed at an on-site winery, where traditional foot-treading in modern lagares preserves centuries-old winemaking practices, ensuring the continued excellence of their Ports.
• Quinta do Ventozelo - Quinta de Ventozelo, rich in history, dates back to Cistercian monks who began port wine production in the Douro Valley. Its journey, from a mention in 1288 to its acquisition by Gran Cruz in 2014, highlights its significance as one of the Douro’s premier estates. Today, Ventozelo is celebrated for its dedication to wine diversity and sustainable tourism, while maintaining its authenticity. Located in a picturesque setting, the estate offers a serene escape into nature, where time slows, and the starlit nights are unforgettable.
• Quinta da Romaneira - Quinta da Romaneira’s illustrious history starts in the 18th century, gaining acclaim in the 19th century with praise from notable figures and recognition at Christie’s auctions. The 20th century saw expansion under Arnaldo Dias Monteiro de Barros, further enlarging its territory. The 21st century brought revitalization through Christian Seely and André Esteves, enhancing its prestige. Today, Romaneira, with its historic vineyards like Liceiras and Carrapata, showcases the excellence of its terroir, embodying over 260 years of distinguished winemaking.
• Quinta Das Tecedeiras - Quinta das Tecedeiras, a key brand within the rich tapestry of the Douro, embraces a dual heritage: honoring the region’s fortified wine tradition while pioneering the cultivation and promotion of non-fortified wines over the past two decades. Situated in the world’s oldest demarcated wine region, Tecedeiras is a poetic landscape of stunning beauty, from breathtaking vistas to the delicate interplay of scents that drift across its terraces—a vinous paradise to which Lima&Smith proudly contributes.
