   Quinta do Bomfim, acquired by George Warre for Dow's in 1896, sits in the "well-placed valley" near Pinhão, a legacy continued by the Symington family since 1912. Positioned in the Upper Douro Valley, the estate benefits from a transitional climate and south-facing schist terraces, vital for producing Dow's distinguished Vintage Ports. The vineyard's grapes are processed at an on-site winery, where traditional foot-treading in modern lagares honors centuries-old winemaking practices, ensuring the continued excellence of their Ports.

   Quinta de Ventozelo, steeped in history, traces back to Cistercian monks who initiated port wine production in the Douro Valley. Its evolution, from a mention in 1288 to its acquisition by Gran Cruz in 2014, reflects its status as one of the Douro's most significant estates. Today, Ventozelo is renowned for its commitment to wine diversity and sustainable tourism, while preserving its authenticity. Situated in a stunning location, the estate offers a tranquil retreat into nature, where time slows, and the starlit nights are unforgettable.

The 21st century brought rejuvenation through Christian Seely and André Esteves, enhancing its stature. Today, Romaneira, with its historical vineyards like Liceiras and Carrapata, showcases the excellence of its terroir, embodying over 260 years of distinguished winemaking.
