Quevedo Port Wines - Family-Owned - From the Douro
For generations, the Quevedo family has owned fields and vineyards. In the 70s and 80s, they expanded their estate, Quinta da Alegria, and launched as an independent brand in 1991. The estate, located in the Douro Valley, is still family-run.
The Quevedos mostly sold their grapes to large companies such as Taylor’s Port, which underscores their quality. In 1975, Oscar Sr. began producing his own wine, which eventually led the family to San Jõao de Pesqueira.
In 1983, they acquired the Quinta Vale D’Agodinho vineyard, which is now their main estate. It is located near the place where famous Port wine figures suffered a shipwreck, an event associated with the story of Baron de Forrester and Dona Antónia Ferreira (1861).
In 1991, Quevedo began producing wine under its own name and built a winery. Today, more than 100 hectares are cultivated. When Claudia, Oscar’s daughter, graduated as an oenologist in 1999, she took over winemaking, while Oscar Jr. is responsible for marketing. Quevedo now exports worldwide.
