STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Romaneira is one of the largest estates in the region, with a total of 412 hectares ( 86 hectares planted) and 3 kilometres of river frontage on the river Douro. The vineyards are planted on terraces on the steeply sloping hills of the property.The creation of this Quinta dates back to 1757. In 2004, Christian Seely (responsible, since 1993, for the rebirth of another distinctive property in the Douro, Quinta do Noval), along with a group of investors ,acquired Romaneira. Since that time, Romaneira has benefitted from extensive renovation, rebuilding and replanting.
