Quinta do Infantado

Established in 1816, Quinta do Infantado has 46 ha of vines, 100% class A (like a Grand Cru). Certified organic viticulture in 12 ha, sustainable in the remaining 34 ha. The wines, Douro (showing a sunny terroir and freshness) and Porto (drier than usual thanks to a longer fermentation), are exclusively estate grown. Quinta do Infantado in 3 words: balance, terroir and elegance.

We visited this vineyard as part of the tour at Barefoot George (which I highly recommend). I really enjoy visit the smaller producers, where I get to talk to the owner/winemaker, rather than listening to a canned speech by a company employee. The name, Infantado, refers to Infante D. Pedro. The vineyard was established for the prince who became King D. Pedro IV of Portugal and D. Pedro I of Brazil. Today, the vineyard has been in the hands of the Roseira family for over a century, with its sixth generation in wine production. We entered the dark, cool cellars, where they have some gigantic wine barrels. Everything looks really ancient. I was startled by some noise. The owner said, oh, don't worry, the bats are harmless, they eat bugs. While reassured that there is no bloodsucking fiend, I wondered how this conversation would go with a U.S, food safety inspector. The vineyard is situated in the valley, and while it does not provide gorgeous vista, the view from the tasting room is quite nice. We got to enjoy some wonderful port wine after the tour, as we chat with the owner on everything from Vivino to the future of port wine. It was a most wonderful visit, and needless to say, we bought a few bottles so we can relive the memories at home.
