Churchill’s was founded in 1981 by master port blender Johnny Graham, making him the fifth generation of his family to produce wine in the Douro. Starting Churchill’s (named after his wife Caroline Churchill) at the age of 29, Johnny wanted to make his own distinctive style of port by combining traditional methods with his personal blending style. 

The youngest in a family of founders, who had been making wine in the Douro for two hundred years, Johnny Graham set up Churchill’s when he was just 29 years old, to bring a personal, drier style and a fresh vibe to the traditional world of port.

In 1999, Churchill’s purchased Quinta da Gricha, a 50-hectare property with 40 hectares of Grade-A vineyards, located in the Cima Corgo, that dates back beyond 1852. Named for the natural spring (“gricha”) that feeds the north-facing vineyards, Quinta da Gricha sits in a microclimate at 150 to 400 meters above sea level, with a wind exposure that naturally regulates humidity. Our oldest vines are over 60 years old and produce wines with vibrant natural acidity and complexity, supported by a mineral backbone that creates what Johnny calls ´tension´.

Johnny still makes the wine today, together with winemaker and partner-in-crime Ricardo Pinto Nunes, who joined the project in 2007. Johnny and Ricardo have worked side by side ever since - harvesting, foot-treading, sharing long lunches and covering thousands of kilometres between Porto and the Douro.

At Churchill’s, we believe in wines that are personal and without pretence; in working with nature rather than against it; and in moments that bring people closer to what gives them joy.

That is why, at Churchill’s, our Vintage, Ruby and wood-aged Ports are still produced in the traditional way - from hand-picked and hand-selected grapes, foot-trodden in our treasured granite lagares dating from 1852 at Quinta da Gricha, with longer fermentation using only indigenous yeasts. This minimal intervention approach is core to Johnny´s philosophy of winemaking, and part of Churchill’s sustainability commitment as a business.  

Since Ricardo joined, we’ve also launched our Douro wines that express the character of the region and the spirit of our vineyards.

Today, Johnny is also joined by his daughter, Zoe Graham, and son-in-law, Ben Himowitz in running Churchill’s.

We are the last remaining independent British Port house, and we plan to keep it that way.  We remain small enough to care deeply, curious enough to keep questioning, and maverick enough to do things our own way.

Geographic Wines aims to value our ancestral culture and terroir, preserving the old vineyards of the Douro and the indigenous grape varieties and wine-growing heritage of our country, Portugal. Our wines are produced by hand, with little intervention and a minimalist philosophy. Our wines must express each vineyard, they must be light and transparent but very complex. Nothing should mask the true character of the soils we work in, neither the barrels nor the over-ripeness of the grapes. Only healthy grapes are used, rich in acids and aromatic precursors. We pick the grapes at their peak of expression and character. Our grapes are healthy, without any manipulation or additives, and with no other objective than to express the authentic emotion and true character of the place where they are born. Each successive vintage has its own expression and will be a testament to Daniela and Nuno's vision of the regions where we produce wine, as well as their ongoing quest to produce elegant and expressive wines from each vineyard. 

Mateus & Sequeira Vinhos is a family-owned company with a 25-year history. With 29 estates and more than 600 hectares of vineyards spread across the three sub-regions of the Douro, Mateus & Sequeira Vinhos possesses an absolutely unique viticultural diversity. No other producer in the Douro combines such a breadth of terroirs, grape varieties, and exposures, granting it a rare winemaking capacity: to craft profoundly distinctive wines that reflect the many faces and personalities of the region. Each wine is the result of the creative freedom that only this diversity allows — authentic products, with their own identity, designed for different moments, markets, and consumers.

WELCOME TO THE QUEVEDO FAMILY! 

Although the Quevedo Family has been producing Port Wine for more than 5 generations, the actual company was only founded in 1993. This makes us one of the most recent Port Wine Houses from the Douro. With less than 30 years of existence, we feel we are at the beginning of our journey and every day is a fresh page added to what we like to do most: explore all the ways wines can be enjoyed. 

A LEGACY OF VITICULTURAL HERITAGE 

The Quevedo family’s lineage in viticulture traces back five generations. The first Quevedo vines were lovingly planted by Abel Gouveia Costa in 1889, in Valongo dos Azeites, S. João da Pesqueira. Abel’s legacy was carried forward by his son, Raul Gouveia Costa, who expanded the family’s wine business. The torch then passed to his son-in-law, João Batista Quevedo, who not only extended the vineyards to new estates but also instilled a profound love for winemaking in his son, Oscar Quevedo.Beatriz‘s family also had its roots in the Carrazeda district, contributing to the family’s rich viticultural heritage. Quinta da Alegria has been handed down through generations and continues to hold a pivotal position today. 

BUILDING THE QUEVEDO BRAND 

By the end of the 1970′s, Oscar and Beatriz Quevedo decided to start a family at S. João Pesqueira, in the heart of the Douro Valley. Both descended from families with a long history in growing grapes and making Port wines. Oscar Sr. embarked on a mission to modernize the family’s winemaking facilities, eventually building the initial Quevedo winery, which is currently also undergoing expansion and remodeling. Over the years, the family has cultivated 100 hectares of vineyards and 25 hectares of organic olive groves, nurturing the land and their legacy. It wasn’t until 1993 that the Quevedo brand was officially founded, marking a new era for the family as they began bottling Port wines under their own label, thanks to Portugal’s entry into the EU in 1986. 

THE 5TH GENERATION JOINS IN 

Having grown between vines and barrels, Cláudia and Oscar Quevedo (Jr.) followed their parents’ steps into the family business. Cláudia Quevedo graduated in Enology at the University of Vila Real, in 1998. Since then, she makes the Port wines at Quevedo. Oscar Quevedo (Jr.), with a background in Economics and having worked in Finance in Switzerland and in Spain, joined the family in 2009. He currently oversees Quevedo’s sales operations across over 40 countries. 

RAISED, MATURED, AND BOTTLED IN THE DOURO VALLEY 

It doesn’t matter how well you work the grapes at the winery unless the origin of the grapes is the very best. The most important legacy that we received from our ancestors was the learning that wine is made in the vineyard. For this reason, we cultivate 100 hectares of vineyards, plus 25 hectares of organic olive groves, across five properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-regions of Cima Corgo. This diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors that help us craft distinct wines and unforgettble experiences along the way. Our ancestors’ passion for viticulture and respect for the land around us drive us every day to cultivate a sustainable legacy for generations to come. 

With deep respect for the environment and its natural cycles, we began growing our vines organically in 2012. Since then, we have gradually expanded our organic production area, drawing on ancient wisdom traditions while investing in state-of-the-art equipment. This has enabled us to progressively reduce the use of artificial chemicals on our other properties, minimizing our environmental impact and allowing the essence of the local territory to prevail. Our vineyard has become a sanctuary for beneficial insects, pollinators and native plants, providing a safe haven in the midst of the ever-expanding human footprint. This rich biodiversity is not just a spectacle to behold – it improves the health of our vineyards and, in turn, the quality of the wines you enjoy. Cheers! 

Quinta do Combro

Heritage, authenticity and a passion for the Douro

We are the fifth and sixth generations of the Cálem family, with deep roots in Douro winemaking. Following our journey at the historic Quinta da Foz and Quinta do Sagrado — where we crafted wines such as VT'04 and VT'05 — we restructured our family project to create Quinta do Combro.

Located just 5 km from Pinhão, in the village of Vilarinho de Cotas, Quinta do Combro is set in the heart of the Douro Valley, where we cultivate old vines under organic farming practices, preserving the authenticity of the terroir.

We focus on small-scale production of still wines — white, red and rosé — using traditional methods: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, foot treading in lagares, and aging in French oak barrels. In addition to wine, we also produce organic olive oil from our estate.

Our project also embraces wine tourism, with a charming rural guesthouse offering five rooms, guided tours of the winery, and immersive wine experiences that celebrate the culture and flavours of the Douro.

Quinta Seara d’Ordens belongs to the same Family since 1792. During the last century the current Estate was divided trought several Family members. Was one member of the Family – João Leite Moreira – that has bought several land parcels and has became the owner of all the property during the 70’s decade.

During the 80’s decade he challenged his 3 sons to develop even more the wine business. Was in 1988 that his sons – António, José and Fernando – have established the brand Quinta Seara d’Ordens. During 1992 they have launched his first Douro DOC wines and was in 1996 their first Port wines.

Currently we can ensure the business continuity as the 6th generation – 5 sons of the three brothers are already working on the Family project.

The Estate has 60Ha of vineyards located in Baixo Corgo and has a altitude that goes from 360 meters up to almost 600 meters. with several sun exposures that are suitable for the production of grapes for high quality white, rosé, red and Porto wines. We are autonomous throughout the entire process, from grape production to wines that are properly packaged and approved for the respective markets.

At the moment we are selling our wines for almost 20 countries (small markets).

Titan of Douro produces wines of great freshness, character and identity!

The goal will always be to maximize the best that the vineyard offers, respecting its history, tradition, and the essence of its people.

Titan of Douro is a name inspired by the family's loyal friend, a Dogo Argentino, a dog with a tenderness and courage as great as his heart!

From the beginning, the work has always focused on finding old vines in the most genuine and least explored places in the Douro, where there are new stories to tell in the form of wine. It was at the foot of the Serra do Reboredo (1,000 meters altitude), in Paredes da Beira, at the highest point in the Douro, that it all began. Surrounded by abundant granite outcrops, the area has sandy granite soils interspersed with quartz veins, an altitude between 700 and 1,000 meters, is located on the slopes of the Távora River and possesses an enviable heritage of centuries-old vines, untouched over time and maintained by the calloused hands of generations of hard work. From here come wines of great freshness, character and identity!

The goal will always be to maximize the best that the vineyard offers, respecting its history, tradition, and the essence of its people.

The Távora Valley impresses with the rugged and wild beauty of its granite slopes and the diverse species of birds that inhabit this winding and enclosed valley, especially birds of prey and forest passerines.

"Terroir" – Valley of the Thousand

Paredes da Beira was conquered from the Moors by D. Tedon and D. Rauzendo, Christian knights, descendants of the King of León.

The Christians knew that it was customary for the Moors to bathe in the river on the morning of Saint John's Day, and they took advantage of this opportunity to attack the main castle, which was without reinforcements. D. Rauzendo came with his warriors and the capture of the castle was easy (...) then he ran to the aid of his brother who was almost losing the battle near the Távora River. Such was the ferocity and bravery of the two brothers and the remaining Christians against the Moors, killing more than a thousand, that even the waters of the river turned red; even today that place is known as the Valley of the Thousand! (in “Speaking Stones – Walls of Beira”, Ricardo Costa).

In the Vale dos Mil, we find the century-old vineyards of the Titan of Douro. Covering approximately six hectares, they are divided into 8 plots: Monte, Barreiro, Gaiteiro, Vale da Mãe, Outeiro Alto, Ribeira, São Paio, and Castelo Velho.

In a prime location, it forms part of a fantastic mosaic of great natural beauty on the slopes of the Távora River.

Vineyards planted over a hundred years ago, with a blend of various red and white grape varieties, grown on their own rootstock, at altitudes of 750-850 meters, facing southeast and with soil of granite, quartz, and rolled pebbles, give rise to properties that translate into the production of iconic and unique wines in the Douro Demarcated Region. Vineyard management focuses on viticulture that balances the ecosystem, avoiding chemical products and any type of mechanization, ensuring the sustainability of the terroir and the surrounding biodiversity.

Two Generations Horácio Augusto Lourenco planted the first vineyards in the 1980s and impelled the foundations of his dream. The son, Jorge Miguel Graça Lourenço, developed tr iculture, created the wines and structured the company as we know it today. It is a story of passion, struggle, entrepreneurial ability and a deep love of the land, illustrated by a smi amily business with 50 hectares of vineyards, spread over the counties of Meda and Vila Nova de Foz Côa. The dispersion of the various plots of vineyards in the Poço do Canto, Val a Teja and Pocinho, with a great diversity of climate, altitude - between 130 and 700 m and soils, shale in the lowlands and shale/granite in the highest lands, allow the creation of ver diverse wines.
