About
The original winery was founded in 1764. Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo has been listed since the first demarcation of the Douro wine region in 1756.
Today, Quinta Nova has 120 hectares of vineyards. Since 1999, the estate has been owned by the Amorim family who is made their fortune on producing cork stoppers for port wine.
Today the focus of Quinta Nova is on high-quality dry red and white wines, from mainstream Pomares brand to high-end Mirabilis.
Come here for excellent wines, warm hospitality, a wonderful hotel, and a Terracu restaurant with a view of the Douro river and the valley. Not to be forgotten – Quinta Nova is the only estate in the Douro with a Wine Museum presenting artefacts of port wine production in the 19th and the 20th century.
