2012 Pacheca Lbv Porto Porto

Description

The Quinta da Pacheca, one of the most renowned estates in the Douro, is notable for having been one of the first to bottle its own branded wines. The estate’s name has been mentioned since April 17, 1738, when a dated document first refers to the “Quinta da Pacheca,” because its owner was D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. However, it was only in 1903 that D. José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to pursue his growing interest in enology, purchasing the property with the goal of dedicating himself to wine production. Today, a century later, the new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family runs the estate: Maria, Catarina, and José are the young faces of this family‑run venture. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (illustrative photo)
