Description
We present a unique investment opportunity in the heart of the Douro region, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recently distinguished as the best wine region in the world at the Wine Awards 2025.
This magnificent estate extends over 50 hectares, equivalent to 500,000 m², combining tradition, history, and high winegrowing potential.
The property has 13 hectares of vineyards rated B and C, planted between 60 and 120 meters above sea level, benefiting from privileged sun exposure, ideal for producing high-quality wines.
The grape varieties include red grapes—Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz—and white grapes—Malvasia Fina and Viosinho.
The vineyards have different ages, with 5.7 hectares around 30 years old, 6.2 hectares around 20 years old, and 1.5 hectares recently planted, 1 year old, ensuring a balance between maturity and renewal.
In addition to its agricultural value, the estate includes a remarkable set of infrastructures and heritage elements, including a main house with annexes, a caretaker’s house, traditional stone wine presses, a granary, and a chapel.
Also noteworthy are two Pombaline demarcation boundary markers dated 1761, classified as UNESCO World Heritage and recognized as a National Monument since 2010, reinforcing the property’s historical and cultural value.
The estate also has two water mines.
This property offers exceptional conditions for wine production, the development of rural tourism, or the creation of an outstanding wine-tourism project, benefiting from a privileged location in one of the world’s most prestigious regions, where history, authenticity, and potential meet in a singular way.
Located in the heart of the demarcated Douro region, this property benefits from a unique setting shaped by terraced vineyards, breathtaking landscapes, and a strong winemaking tradition.
Set within one of the world’s most iconic and oldest wine-producing areas, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers an atmosphere of tranquility, authenticity, and significant cultural value.
Proximity to the Douro River and excellent sun exposure create ideal conditions not only for producing premium-quality wines, but also for tourism and leisure projects in perfect harmony with nature.
