Quinta Dona Matilde is one of the oldest properties in the Douro region. Previously known as Enxodreiro, the farm was part of the first demarcation, ordered by the Marquês de Pombal in 1756, and was part of the properties authorized to produce “factory wines”, an expression synonymous with the best wines, those intended for export. Even today, the entire vineyard on the farm has the letter A, the highest classification in the region, used in the Port wine sector.

Quinta Dona Matilde came to the Barros family through the hands of Manoel Moreira de Barros, in 1927. The purchase of the farm took place during a period of great development in the family's wine business, with the property benefiting from major improvements: in addition to the planting of new vineyards, the house was rebuilt and large gardens were created. In honor of his wife, Manoel de Barros changed the name of the farm, then called Enxodreiro, to Dona Matilde.

“An expression of terroir and the knowledge of generations, the Dona Matilde project focuses on the production and commercialization of superior quality DOC Douro and Port wines.”

The new 2013 Colheita Port is produced using grapes harvested at low altitude vineyards, located on the north bank of the Douro River, in the historic Quinta Dona Matilde estate, which has been owned by the family of producer Manuel Ângelo Barros since 1927.

A Colheita from a single vintage (2013), this Quinta Dona Matilde Port started its aging process in large, wooden casks, - as is traditional with a Tawny - moving, one year later, to smaller containers (600-liter barrels) which allow for aging to occur in an environment with more controlled oxidation. 

In October 2020, it was bottled; with very light filtration, which will still allow it to age in the bottle, by slow reduction, in the coming years.

In combination with the quality of the grapes and the high quality brandy used during the vinification process, the traditional work of the Barros family wine cellar has helped to create an original Port Wine, halfway between a Ruby and a Tawny.  The port shows lovely freshness and notes of red fruit as well as complex aromas with a touch of nuttiness.
