Testifying to a rich heritage, the past of Quinta do Castelinho is closely linked to the delimitation of the Porto appellation, at a time when the borders were delimited by imposing granite blocks. This iconic property, located in the spectacular Douro Valley, in the Duriense region of northwestern Portugal, was already mentioned on the map designed by Baron Forrester in 1848.

In 1903, agronomist and diplomat Jaime Batalha Reis wrote in the newspaper "O Comércio do Porto" that the wines from the Quinta do Castelinho were easily recognizable because of their so particular aromatic notes signifying their qualitative excellence.

Red in 1969 by Manuel Anónio Saraiva, Quinta do Castelinho will become known in the 1990s as Castelinho Vinhos, one of the first companies to export its Port wines directly from the Douro region without going through the port of Vila Nova de Gaia in Porto.

Mastering the entire process of developing its Port wines, selecting the best bunches, the Quinta do Castelinho is at the origin of a range of Portos of exception.

Product exclusively in the great years with the finest grapes in very limited quantities, the Vintage Port Quinta do Castelinho is considered a real gem of Porto.

Millesimes of legend, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1997 and 1999 will have engraved in the marble the House of Noble Quinta do Castelinho.
