Quinta do Vale Meão

Quinta do Vale Meão is a historic estate located in the Douro region of Portugal, founded in 1877 by Doña Antónia Adelaide Ferreira. Today, it is owned by her great-great-grandson, Francisco "Xito" Olazabal, who continues the family tradition of producing exceptional wines.

The winery combines traditional methods with modern technology. Grapes are still foot-trodden in ancient stone tanks known as "lagares," while fermentation takes place under controlled conditions in modern stainless steel tanks. The wines are aged exclusively in French oak barrels from the Allier region.

Quinta do Vale Meão is renowned for its red wines, particularly those crafted from grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca. Their wines are characterized by deep color, complex aromatic profiles, and outstanding structure, making them highly esteemed by wine enthusiasts worldwide.
