Quinta do Silval Winery
Has a long history in the Douro region for producing wines of excellence. It’s vineyards are all letter A, this being the highest rating given to the vineyards of this region, and are classified by UNESCO since 2001 as being a world heritage site. The minimum age of the vines is over 30 years old. At the end of the 20th century, in 1985, the Magalhães family patriarch – Carlos Magalhães – decided to revive its unique production of port wine and begin the production of the DOC Douro wines.

As a sweet, fortified wine, the alcoholic fermentation is interrupted adding local brandy to keep naturally residual sugar from the grapes. All of these ports are the best in their class, the perfect combinations of freshness, sweetness, power and tasty fruit.

Vinho Verde Wine Region
Located in the extreme north of Portugal, the wine region of “Vinho Verde” (Green Wines) is the largest in Portugal. Its 84,000 acres are spread along a coast area geographically well situated: bound to the north by the Minho River, stretching along the Atlantic coast to the city of Porto, and reaching as far south as the banks of the Vouga River. Rich in water resources, with mild temperatures and abundant rains, the region is home to granitic soils that are fertile with high acidity, excellent for the production of white wines.
