Quinta Vale D. Maria, located in the heart of the Douro in the Cima Corgo, specifically in the Vale do Rio Torto, has a history that dates back to 1868. However, a new era of excellence began in 1996 when Cristiano van Zeller acquired the estate from his wife’s family, Joana Lemos van Zeller. Over more than two decades, Cristiano has led a dedicated and passionate effort to create unique wines of quality recognized both in Portugal and abroad. The acquisition of Quinta Vale D. Maria by the Aveleda group in 2017 continues this legacy, adding a long‑term vision focused on excellence and sustainability. This philosophy is rooted in a passion for every detail, starting with the hand‑selecting of the best bunches, continuing with the use of traditional vinification methods, and culminating in the careful choice of the finest French oak barrels. Investing in a sustainable viticulture model is a priority, ensuring the wine’s quality remains high while respecting natural resources. (illustrative image only)
