Quinta do Portal Auru Tinto

Quinta Do Portal has been producing Port wine in the Pinhão valley for more than 100 years, but it has been in the Douro at least since 1477, when the King D. Afonso V grants a portion of land (Comenda de Oliveira) to the noble D. Afonso de Mansilha. Later in 1756, Frei João de Mansilha played a very important role in the demarcation of the Douro and its implementation.

It’s a unique and rare wine created from a blend of Touriga Nacional (55%), Tinta Roriz (40%) and Touriga Franca (5%). A wine with great personality, superior and exclusive, that will age to perfection in bottle.
Quinta do Portal Auru 2011 is Douro’s excellence!
