Quinta do Pôpa

About Winery and Wines

In 2003, Zeca obtained his “piece ” of the Douro and bought his Quinta which at the time was called Quinta do Vidiedo, located in Adorigo – Tabuaço. The winery is situated in one of the oldest wine regions in the world, home to all his childhood memories. He invested all his economic effort, dedication and perseverance by acquiring small plots of vineyards, mostly old, as well as planting new vines and olive groves. These vines were blessed by the quality of soil and built in terraces above the splendor of the Douro River. In 2010, the dreamer then placed both his children – Stéphane and Vanessa Ferreira’s – feet on the Douro, keen to involve them in a desire to produce excellent wines under Pôpa’s signature. Zeca do Pôpa showed his children the magic that this terroir held, either through the production of fine wines, or by the Douro’s natural beauty and tradition. In 2012, Quinta do Pôpa opened its doors to the public, encouraged by friends and family to do so. The welcoming of each visitor remains informal and intimate with the aim of sharing the history and highlighting the people who reflect the character of the Pôpa wine. + info/ http://www.quintadopopa.com/en/about/

The first harvest took place in 2007, at the time when Luis Pato, the winemaker and also family friend saw potential in Pôpa wines. Nowadays we see this kind of motivation and commitment in Pôpa’s grandchildren. With the assistance of winemaker Francisco Montenegro, the team have managed to turned this unique nectar into a tone of several Tributes : Quinta do Pôpa Homenagem to Francisco Ferreira; Pôpa VV, TN, TR and Pôpa ( white and red ) a tribute to the Pôpa family; Pôpa Sweet Red Wine, a tribute to all the women in the family; TrePA a tribute to the winemaker Luis Pato; and the range Contos da Terra to Douro Valley, the terroir and its people. + info/ http://www.quintadopopa.com/en/wines/
