About this Wine

Quinta do Ferro has been a pioneer since its foundation in 1999, being the first winery in the region to be built and designed from the ground up for sparkling wine production. It remains a benchmark producer of sparkling wine in the Vinho Verde region.

The vineyard is under a special microclimate and on granitic soil with shale outcrops; located at 400 meters above sea level and named "riverbank vineyard," it is from here that the grapes are harvested for Quinta do Ferro Sparkling Red.

Vinification and Ageing: The selected grapes are hand-harvested in 12 kg crates, destemmed, and crushed in a small lagar. After foot treading, the must is in contact with the skins for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place for approximately 12 days, with foot treading and temperature control. Natural stabilization with a minimum of 12 months on fine lees. Second fermentation in the bottle according to the Classic Method. Minimum ageing in the cellar for 12 months.

Gastronomy: Served between 8/10°C with complex dishes and fatty meats (e.g., suckling pig). Good to pair with pasta and pizzas.

You're Overpaying for French Wine Because You Don't Know About Portugal

Here's what other wine producing countries don't want you to know: Portugal makes wines just as good, sometimes better, for half the price. Everyone’s been trained to worship the same names: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, Tuscany. But here’s the uncomfortable truth those wine giants don’t want you to hear:

Portugal is making wines just as exceptional, and often better, for a fraction of the price.
And no, this isn’t a budget alternative. It’s a massive blind spot in the wine world. While the rest of the planet keeps pumping out the same 12 internationally famous grape varieties - Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay - Portugal has been doing something radically different.
They’ve quietly preserved more than 250 indigenous grapes you can’t find anywhere else on Earth.
Not copies. Not variations. Completely unique varieties with flavours, aromas, and textures you’ve literally never tasted before.
That £80 Cabernet you just splurged on? Portugal has wines made from grapes you’ve never even heard of… and they’ll absolutely stun you, for £20–£30.
Imagine discovering flavours that feel familiar and completely new.
Imagine drinking wine that feels like a secret... because hardly anyone else knows about it yet.

About this Winery

Quinta do Ferro was a pioneer in its founding, being the first winery in the region to be built and designed from the ground up to produce sparkling wine. Founded in 1999, it is a family project located on the right bank of the Douro River in Gestaçô Baião, a sub-region of the Vinho Verde region, and bordering the Douro region, also known as ""Douro Verde"". In 2022, Bruno Ribeiro & Eugénio de Sousa Lda. takes control of Quinta do Ferro, continuing the project and creating the brand Coroa do Ferro.

At Quinta do Ferro, the focus has been on native grape varieties, producing only Portuguese grapes. These include Avesso, a native grape of Gestaçô Baião, a unique and original white grape with a strong and complex personality; Arinto, a white grape planted throughout the country, aromatic, fresh, with good acidity and minerality; and finally, a grape often misunderstood, vinhão, a red and teinturier grape, with a strong character, mainly planted in the northern part of the country, which, due to the characteristics of the Quinta's terroir, loses its typical roughness and gains elegance and smoothness.

The two main vineyards have a special microclimate and are on granitic soil, which gives them minerality, salinity, and a vegetal touch. One vineyard is located at almost 400 meters above sea level, known as the riverside vineyard; the other is at over 600 meters above sea level, considered the mountain vineyard. This is the main vineyard, the mountain one, and it is from here that the grapes for the sparkling wine are harvested.

Quinta do Ferro has received awards nationally and internationally and has received good reviews from major opinion makers worldwide, such as Robert Parker and Sarah Ahmed.

Great service

Exceptional wine

Exceptional wine. Reminds me of the wine I enjoyed at the party night at the end of a summer cruise on the Douro 🎉. It has a delicous scent and taste and I shall order it again!

Great

Great taste

A delicious white, full of flavour.

This wine is absolutely delicious, beautifully balanced, with a full flavour and a joy to drink. I thoroughly recommend it and the company.

Excellent wine

I have been drinking this wine since around 1974, on a business trip to Matosinhos. Medium dry and fruity, with a very pleasant nose. Superbly drinkable, as an aperitif or to accompany fish/shellfish. My first experience was with locally caught clams. None of the harsh dryness of some of the dryer white wines.

Refreshing and. fruity

A delighfull fragrant. white, ideal for a warm spring evening. Delivery was swift (next day), bottle arrived encased in a well protected package. Well done!

Excellent wine

I just happened to buy this wine and tried it to see how it was good. All I can say is that it presents a lovely translucent ruby color, characteristic of the grape, with a delicate, almost ethereal shimmer in the glass. It’s brighter at the rim, hinting at its lighter body and aromatic nature and of course, it taste delicious.

Fresh, light and super refreshing

Light, crisp, and just a little fizzy. Perfect for summer barbecues or with seafood. Easy to drink and always a crowd-pleaser!

Rich, smooth and great with food

Lovely smooth red with notes of plum and a hint of spice. Tastes way more expensive than it is! Perfect with grilled meats or cheese. Fast deliver as well.

My favourite new white wine discovery!

I've had some great red wines from the Alentejo region in the past, but this white has opened my eyes to some really great white wines from this beautiful part of Portugal.

Lovely wine, reminds me of holidays in Portugal!

This is my go to Vinho Verde. It's light and refreshing and is a really pleasant wine to drink. Portuguese Vinho Verdes are unique among white wines I've tried in having that lovely crisp, dry quality that I so love.

Very enjoyable!

A very enjoyable wine, delivered quickly and efficiently.

Wine was great and the shipping was super fast! Highly recommended

I lectured in Portugal during the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
‘ The Vinho verdhe from Moncao was an absolute favourite which I enjoyed greatly in the Fado houses of Alfama . The Muralhas is not only a nostalgic reminder of good friends but a reminder of the guality and extreme drinkability of one of the great historic wines of Portugal.

Delicious wine, delivered fast!

A safe and quick delivery. The wine is delicious, perfect as a light drink at lunch or with cheese or fish. Really enjoyed it! Will buy more.

Fab wine, prompt service!

Very impressed with the quality of my order, both the content inside the bottles and the delivery. Will be ordering again for sure.

Good
