## Description

It all began many decades ago with Mr. Manuel Monteiro, originally from Bragança, arriving in the Douro region to prepare the land for vine planting with bulldozers, spreading his work across much of the Douro. After marrying my mother, Arlete Salta Monteiro, a native of São João da Pesqueira, he started the family’s viticultural project on the land she inherited and on other properties—Quinta dos Nogueirões, Quinta do Praito, and Quinta da Portela, among smaller estates—all located on the right bank of the Rio Torto, featuring vineyards, olive groves, pear trees, almond trees, and chestnut woods. This work has continued to the present day, with the five children helping to build this heritage from a base of more than 60 ha and nearly 200 tons of grape production, fostering a deep bond with the land and the region. In 2011, after decades of selling grapes to the best Port and table wine producers in the Douro, conditions were ripe to take a new step in the family project: transforming and marketing our raw material. Thus was born the company Quinta dos Nogueirões, named after the family’s largest estate. Thanks to the excellent location of our vineyards, the native grape varieties planted, good viticultural practices under Integrated Production, traditional vinification methods, and careful maturation, we create distinctive nectars of concentrated fruit and unique expressions from an exceptional terroir, yielding generous wines. Since then, we have continued to invest and improve the land with new vine and olive plantings, create spaces for enotourism, and build a new cellar, allowing us to expand the company’s full production capacity.
