Winery

All the latest, most modern technology and knowledge applied in the production of high-quality wines.

Winemaking

The winery, equipped with the most modern technology, offers a symbiosis between the modern and the traditional, with the same building housing a range of areas, from production to ageing in oak barrels and wine bottling, this project falling under the remit of Engineer Jaime Quendera.

We have capacity for the fermentation of 21 million litres in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.

Wine Cellar

We have three ageing cellars: two with 3,500 barrels for the fermentation and ageing of white, red and sparkling wine; the other is dedicated to the ageing of Setúbal muscatel wine and has capacity for 2,000 barrels.

Bottling

We have 3 bottling lines, one for bottles with capacity for 3,000 bottles/hour and two “bag-in-box” lines with capacity for 800 BIBs/hour. We bottle more than 15 million litres per year.

Quinta de Canivães

VINHO DO DOURO - DOURO SUPERIOR

In 2018, with the acquisition of Quinta de Canivães, Leonor Freitas fulfilled a long-standing dream of having an estate by the Douro river. This old estate is located on the left bank of the Douro, near Vila Nova de Foz Côa, and was formerly known as "Quinta do Porto Velho", as it has a small port where the small boats would dock. Covering 50 hectares, it has 20 hectares of vineyards of various ages, composed of the noblest red varieties, and 4.5 hectares of olive groves that are used to produce very high quality olive oil.

This project is a continuation of the great partnership between Leonor Freitas and winemaker Jaime Quendera.

Quinta do Minho

Vinho Verde - Póvoa de Lanhoso

The Quinta do Minho, which covers 40 hectares, was born in 1990 in Póvoa do Lanhoso near Braga, as a result of the merging of two of the oldest estates there: Quinta do Bárrio and Quinta da Pedreira. The main house dates back to the 18th century and has gradually been restored to support activities related to wine tourism. With a typical terroir of the Alto Minho, its elegant and fresh wine is based on the Loureiro grape variety, which is queen of this region.

This project is a continuation of the great partnership between Leonor Freitas and winemaker Jaime Quendera.
