Ponte de Marante

Ponte de Marante is an iconic Portuguese brand of wine brandy (aguardente vínica), created after the demise of the iconic ‘Conde de Amarante’ in the late 1960s. Produced by Caves da Cerca, this brandy is made from the distillation of quality wines, then aged for over four decades in Iberian oak casks using traditional methods. It embodies the heritage and expertise handed down from generation to generation.
