2017 Pacheca Vintage Porto Porto

Description

The Quinta da Pacheca, one of the most well‑known estates in the Douro, stands out for having been among the first to bottle its own branded wines. The name of this estate has been recorded since April 17, 1738, when a dated document first references the “Quinta da Pacheca,” because its owner at the time was D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. It was only in 1903 that D. José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to pursue his growing interest in oenology, purchasing the property with the aim of dedicating himself to viticulture and winemaking. Today, a century later, the new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family takes over the management of the estate: Maria, Catarina, and José are the young faces of this family‑run business. The year of bottling may not match the image presented. (illustrative image only)
