Crafting wine experiences
Since 1638
A new Douro underlined by history
Vinhas Velhas is crafted in Quinta de São Luiz, in the Douro, a historic vineyard whose white washed walls have sustained the vines and the know-how of several generations of winemakers, In one smallplot of the Quinta’s traditional terraces, there are some vines that were planted more than 50 years ago, giving this Grande Reserva its name, Vinhas Velhas (Old Vines). The small yield of these vines, combined with a long ageing period in barrel and the expertise of the winemaker, give body to a complex and elegant wine, with a velvety and engaging structure. This is a numbered edition of 2200 bottles, which come in two sizes. Bottles numbered 1 to 2000 are 750ml. Bottles numbered 2001to 2200 are 1500ml.
The wine should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations. The bottle should remain in a horizontal position.
