Property History:
Quinta do Pinto is a family owned and run estate committed to produce boutique wines with the expression of the atlantic coast on the Alenquer appellation. We have a collection of 27 grapes, planted on gentle slopes of clay limestone soils, with southern exposure, that benefit from the Atlantic influence and that are forwarded to the winery where they are fermented using only indigenous yeast, thus producing wines that are a true portrait of terroir wines that are bodied, have a beautiful natural acidity and minerality . Records show that the wines produced in this estate in the past century were so differentiated that they we worth one more Pinto coin – the vintém coin that was the currency at the time. Being Pinto our surname, this was a challenging coincidence for the family.
Owner History:
